It's good to be Three

It was a much-anticipated day of cupcakes, chocolate butterflies, friends and presents. How would it be to be three again? I'll be thirty-three next month...yikes. If I want chocolate butterflies, I'll have to make them for myself! Goodness knows I have enough melting chocolate left since I could only find to buy it in bulk.

Evy with Grandma Howell and Mama

butterflies and helium balloons were super-exciting, met with exclamation

sidewalk chalk with friends

and a push on the porch swing, building the anticipation of cupcakes!!!

As I asked Evan what kind of party she wanted, all she would say was "PINK"

Me: "What kind of cake do you want?" Ev: "pink"

Me: "What kind of balloons?" Ev: "pink"

I have to document this so that someday when she sees these pictures she won't think I was pushing "pink" on her...to the contrary she demanded it. Heaven knows I'm not tickled with pink. But I like how it all turned out, after all, she is three.

The sweets seemed to satisfy

And out to the playhouse

(or should I say Play-palace...more on that to come when it is completed.)

After the party, present time...

Thank you to everyone who loves my child and showers her, not only with stuff, but more importantly with love, attention, esteem, prayers, and patience.

Hey, I don't even have a laptop Evy!

And thank goodness your "Aunt" Shelley loves Disney...we should start calling her your Fairy God Mother Shelley. Evan, if you ever get to Disneyland it will be by the grace of Shelley.

Papa has in mind to get you to the X Games...

Watch out world...or at least east side of Provo...

And to finish the day, a Happy Birthday wish from Heavenly Father to my Angel girl...could it have been more perfect?
