We celebrated Eve’s birthday this weekend. A good time was had by all. As usual we had a crowded house and sugared up kids. She wanted a chocolate party, which is hard to do for a three year old! I think it went well though. My nauseous stomach even cooperated that day, though it was back in force the next day. The party continued into Sunday and by last night we were all exhausted! Today the kids both eagerly took naps and I napped the entire time with them. Whewh! One more recovery day and then a mini party for her actual birthday on Wednesday. Just one more day until she is a big three year old!
I’ll let the photos tell the party story…
My lovely fruit platter to balance out the chocolate fest.

The cake this year was in flux right up to the end. Eve and I had a cupcake thing all planned out, then about a week before the party, she started insisting on cake instead. Turns out she wanted the EXACT same cake as our friend Dylan had at his party. We settled on a different style of cake, but the day before the party I realized I didn't have the right pans. Ugh. Back to cupcakes. I had this vision in mind so I made cupcakes and cookies the day before and during naptime on party day my dad helped me set them all up. Then Rachel came in and suggested putting jelly beans on top. Genius! A complete team effort that turned out really cute, and delicious! Thanks all!!
Eve and her balloon, which she calls Tommy. She REALLY wanted this balloon and was asking about it for weeks. It was a big hit at the party.
I took a ton of pictures of these pretty girls sitting together. Caitlin, Eve, and Molly.
One more of the three of them.
Kitty. Eve loves, LOVES, soft cuddly things.
I like this picture because it looks like she's saying "ooohhh" :)
Molly was trying to be helpful and put ALL of Eve's new hair bands on her head at once. Eve was not impressed.
Look at how excited Dylan and Eve look! They are so cute!

Who is this crazy doctor!?
Doctor Eve gives Molly a flu shot. Eve likes to make sure EVERYONE (people, animals, toys, etc.) gets flu shots daily.
Totally coincidentally, the leftover cupcakes left a message.
At breakfast the next morning Eve works VERY hard to cut her pancakes.
