Eve's Birthday


I can't believe that it has been two years since Eve was born. She is growing so fast and entertaining me more and more each day. I am so happy to be her mom, she is the sweetest little person!

She loves her tea set that she got for Christmas. She has had many tea parties... which require us sitting down so she can serve us. I am glad that we got her a toy that she enjoys so much! Now we just need to invite little girls her age over for tea parties... she would enjoy that so much more!!

Happy Birthday!!

So Sunday was a big day!! Ian and Eve got to share another birthday together. It was a lot of fun. We woke up in the morning and let her open a present (the book Olivia-she is obsessed). Then we went to my mom's. There she opened her Fancy Nancy themed presents. At church she got just what she likes most.... lots and lots of music! Not once did she have to ask for more music please.

Then we headed home and rested for a while (opened and played with her tea set) before heading over to Ian's grandparent's house for the party. The party was for family which there is plenty of right now. Ian's parents and sister are in town, or course his grandparents are here, my mom, Alice and Andrew. It was a wild party. We enjoyed lots of finger foods and angel food cupcakes with strawberry cool whip frosting.

Ian's family really outdid themselves with the presents. Just when you thought it was over more presents were opened. It cracked me up. I can't even list all of the things that she scored. Now she is obsessed with presents. She wants to open more presents please. We keep on telling her how many sleeps before Christmas when she can open more presents. She cracks me up.

The day after her birthday we went to the doctor's office bright and early for her 2 year checkup and she did amazing. She didn't even cry when they gave her a shot!! I couldn't believe it.

She got to finish off that day with a sleepover with Grandma Kim, Anica, Al, and Grandma and Grandpa Sybesma. She loved it!! Of course she is so in love with sleepovers that tonight she is away again... with my mom, Andrew and Alice. It is nice to have the quiet... but weird having her gone so much in one week. But everyone isn't home all of the time for her to party with them so it is nice for her to be able to do that... and nice for me and Ian to have some time to ourselves. Maybe that is her birthday present to him.
