The count-down to Eve’s birthday has begun. She has been talking about it for months and awhile ago we started making her a birthday chain. The idea she had was time-consuming though and at that time we were 52 days away from her birthday! Needless to say we did not finish the count-down chain. However, we got 24 “cakes” made on the chain so when I realized we were 24 days away from her birthday I “remembered” and got the chain back out! She was excited and we hung it up. Now each morning she cuts off one of the cakes as the count-down continues. She loves waking up and announcing “It’s time to cut a cake!” :) It makes me giggle every morning. <\/p>\n

First thing in the morning, cutting a cake. :)<\/p><\/div>\n

She also made herself a birthday list last month. She hasn’t added anything to it since the original effort, but here it is. <\/p>\n

\"list\"<\/a>

Dog, Flowers, American Girl, Panera Card (she has been practicing her lowercase a, which often looks more like a q)<\/p><\/div>\n

Last week we started planning her birthday party. It will be a Pet Show party and all of her friends will bring their favorite pet (stuffed animals only!) We’re going to have a pet show with awards (fluffiest pet, most colorful pet, etc.) and pet-themed games and projects. We are expecting quite a crowd! That will be on her birthday morning, then we’ll have a family party (pizza and cake, pets optional) in the afternoon\/evening. Then we will all crash! I have lots of great ideas in my head, now I just need to find the motivation (somewhere, somehow!) to get it done! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
