(I’m not quite ready for her to be four yet. I still get a few more days with my three year old!)<\/em><\/p>\n

For her birthday this year Eve wanted a “just family” party. Over the past weeks I’ve asked her off and on about inviting others, maybe a few friends, or neighbors, or classmates, but she held firm to her “just family” idea, so this weekend we had a fun “just family” party. Luckily we have more than enough family to fill the room! :) Eve was surrounded by love and duly doted on. <\/p>\n

\"lex<\/a>

Lex learned how to use the vacuum and did a great job helping us clean for the party.<\/p><\/div>\n

He was THRILLED that I let him stand on the counter while he dusted the shelves.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"reading<\/a>

Books are irresistible in this house. If you pick up a book, both kids will immediately appear. Aunt Katie is an excellent book reader.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"pizza\"<\/a>

Eve chose pizza for her birthday dinner. I love her idea of a good party - family and pizza!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"cake\"<\/a>

Cake! This year Grampy Don convinced Eve that she wanted a Parcey Cake for her birthday. She agreed before she even knew what it was :) Parcey Cake is a Johnson family creation consisting of layer cake with a layer of Jell-O and Cool Whip between the cake layers. Eve chose chocolate (of course!) and raspberry Jell-O. Yum.<\/p><\/div>\n
