Here is a glimpse at Evie's first day as a two year old!
Side note- Braylen slept from 7:30 pm- 5:15 am! I have been up since then, but he went back to bed : )
7 AM- Rise and Shine Birthday Girl!
7:30 AM- Daddy makes banana pancakes
 |
| She loves her pancakes and dippie |
7:45 AM- Evie enjoys looking at all of her birthday cards and one present from Mommy and Daddy
 |
| Saying good morning to brother |
 |
| A new book! |
8 AM- Daddy leaves for work
 |
| Giving Daddy a hug and kiss |
 |
She watches Daddy get in his car. She says "bye bye"
for the 10th time when he pulls away. Then she shuts the door |
Playtime
 |
| She is really into trains this week |
10 AM Maiden Voyage of
Pink Cadillac facing forward!! I might not follow the recommendations for keeping bouncer, Bumbo seat, etc on the floor, but I did follow the recommendation for keeping Evie rear-facing until 2.
10:30 AM Met Cole and Auntie Laura at the mall for a stroller ride and play time in the germ zone.
 |
| Snack break |
 |
| Double. Trouble. |
 |
| It took no time at all to warm up |
Noon- I wanted to make mac n cheese, but everyone was spent from the mall, so it was peach yogurt
 |
| Her utensil skills are excellent! |
Playtime
 |
| Obsessed with her baby |
Naptime- Read her new book
4:30 PM Dumbo DVD
5:45 PM- Birthday pizza dinner and cake with
Braylen's stalker her BFF Emily, Lisa, and Karl
 |
| Helping Daddy bring up the drinks from the basement. |
 |
| Way to dress with the theme, girls! |
6:45 PM- Elmo cake unveiling
 |
She was excited to see Elmo at her party. I think
all the attention on her made her shy. She was clinging to me |
 |
| Did you notice the blasted Eagles sweatshirt?! Yes, it's 51 degrees |
 |
| Cake! A very special treat in this house |
 |
| One good friend is all a girl needs |
7:25 PM- Emily barfs while on the walk
7:26 PM- Party over
8:00 PM- Bedtime
I don't think Evie completely "got it". She definitely knew to say "two" when asked about the day. In this Pinterest driven, go over the top culture, our party was super lame. I like setting the standard low and having the energy to give Evie my attention and love all day. I think mission was accomplished.

Happy birthday again to my Evie Girl! I can't believe you are TWO! (Loved the post especially "germ zone", "blasted Eagles sweatshirt" and "7:26- Party over". Ahh, memories!) Looked like a perfect birthday for a two year old. Great job on making it special for her! And she looks extra cute in her birthday photos. Let the partying continue...
Can't believe Evie is two! The time sure does fly :-P Couple of things I love from the photos...
1. the purple sneakers, they look awesome!
2. that she can still fit in the Bumbo! Can't say that Luke doesn't, I might have to get it out and see. Looks like a good way for him to see what is going on!
3. The Elmo gear and cake. I think her birthday looked special and fabulous :)
Happy (few days late comment) Birthday!
xoxo Aunt Jen
Happy birthday, sweet Evie! I cannot believe that girl is already two!
For the record, I think your partay was super awesome! Then again, I'm a big time believer in low-key birthdays, so that probably renders my opinion obsolete in today's "Pinterest driven" culture! Jason's Elmo cake would, however, fit right in on Pinterest, making moms and dads like me and Nick feel like poo for having zero cake decorating skillz. :)
Pinterest is waaaaayyyyy overated. I don't get it and I don;t get into it. Your party was awesome and the cake well done! Can't believe she is two already. Time flies. I didn't notice the sweatshirt, I noticed the speed kills shirt! Still have mine too
