We went to the Worthington Easter Egg hunt on Friday night! Expecting the same reaction that Santa got, I was shocked when BOTH my girls thought the Easter bunny was just about the coolest thing they had ever seen. We went on an egg hunt trail and then sat on the Bunny's lap. Good times!
You've come a long way baby!
Evie turned ONE on Wednesday! We celebrated Wednesday night with a birthday brownie, Evie's very first taste of chocolate. She thought it was only alright.... but then suddenly it all disapeared from her tray. "Just like her momma." Jason said.
The girls anxiously awaited the arrival of a few friends and family members!
Evie and Grandma Gay
Happy birthday girl!
I made her a giant chcolate cupcake with fresh strawberry icing thinking that since the brownie was a hit, she would love it! She didn't want ANYTHING to do with it!
"This is too much pressure mom!"
Just like her Papa maybe?
As she tried to get away, big sis decided to try to help her figure out what she was supposed to do!
We had a great time and are grateful to those who came to celebrate with us or celebrated with us in spirit! We love our Evie, our little one year old. She has taught me to actually appreciate many things about motherhood (particularly the first year of baby's life) that I previously found demanding and overwhelming. Its amazing how loving another doesnt cause you to love someone else any less. My heart just feels like it is continuosly expanding and the love just continues to grow. I'm so grateful for our little family, we are so very, very blessed!
Hope you had a wonderful and sweet Valentine's Day!
And of course, a picture of little sister Evie! (who I could not get to look at the camera!)
So, we got the new glasses Friday. This was our second pair technically but she only wore the first for a few hours since they would not stay on her face, even after several adjustments. So we have a brown glittery frame in the front, pink glittery sides of the frame, and three little hearts on each side. She seems to like them much better than the first pair! We are still working up to wearing them all day, she likes to take breaks here and there. We are adjusting but we are getting there. Grateful to have the new addition. I didn't know that she couldnt see very well, just started noticing she was developing a lazy eye. I'm glad the opthomologist knew what he was doing and our new addition to the family is going to help our Olive see the world more clearly!
