Baby Eve turned 17 today! Not such a baby anymore, but she’ll always be my baby.
I had lots of celebration ideas, but she vetoed them all this year, so instead we’ve had a really nice low-key day. We had presents and cake in the early afternoon, with Lex joining us via Discord. :)
The usual birthday table. The yellow thing at the bottom is actually a present, not the table. :) 
Queen E 
I’m curious to see the rest of this costume come together. 
Anything that arrives in the mail around an birthday becomes a birthday present. :) 
Afternoon cake 
Blue Angel Food cake with Cool Whip and dino sprinkles. 
Party table 
Alan got her a Lego succulent set, so we had fun building that while chatting with Lex. Lex was moved to the phone after R took his computer away. LOL. 
:)
E decided she wanted to spend some time in nature, so we took a walk along Mink Brook, a Connecticut River tributary. It was a beautiful day. We brought Huxley along for the outing and we all had a lovely time.
Huxley wants to catch up! 
Smiles 
Can’t forget the doggo. 
Fun in the sun. 
Zoom in to see the “Princess” sign on the bench. I decided it must be Eve’s bench. 
Practicing for her senior pictures? LOL. 
There’s the Connecticut! 
There’s the Connecticut! 
This spirally thing (bark, perhaps) was so cool. There were several others on the tree as well, but this was the biggest and best.
We had dinner at Molly’s and now we’re home, watching The Simpson’s, E’s favorite show to watch with her daddy. Overall it was a beautiful day for a beautiful girl.
Also, it’s Easter! I totally skipped it this year. We put up a few tiny decorations, bought some jelly beans last week, and that was it. No eggs or baskets or anything. Oh well. Happy Easter to those who celebrate it better than I do. Happy Birthday to those who celebrate today (both E and my bestie Lisa!). Happy Sunday to all. 🐰💖
