evelyn's cherry birthday party!!!

wow...what a fun time we had at evelyn's cherry birthday party.  she is really into birthdays this year, in fact everyday there seems to be a birthday at our house!  it might be the dog, one of her dolls, baby sister, etc.  evelyn LOVES birthdays!  she was just glowing with excitement on her special day!

her actual birthday was sunday, so we had the party that day as well.  it was a jam packed day of fun!  we stated the day off with plain oatmeal (evelyn's request) and presents...

while i was busy preparing food for miss e party later that day, she decided to balance silverware on her balls!  doesn't that seem like the perfect birthday activity...silly girl!!! :)

a few pre-party pics...

a few party details...this is the hat i made miss e, it was so easy and fun to make!

a number 3 flag., also so easy and fun!

cherry cupcakes, don't you love the red gingham cupcake holders?! :)

3 years of birthdays...i LOVED how this turned out!  it was so fun to see how much she has changed year to year.

i made a new birthday banner to go with the cherry theme...

my little birthday girl...oh, how i love this sweet girl so much!!!

miss e wanted to make sure that d (deer), bear, and hopper (bunny), could see the party, so she propped them up in our bedroom window!  they sure had a birds eye view of the cherry party! :)

craft time...

miss evelyn was all smiles as everyone sang her happy birthday...

making a wish...

cherry pie and cake time with her friends...evelyn loved the cherry pie!  in fact i don't think she even ate one cupcake!

isn't this the cutest panda mask?!  it was a birhtday card from aunt ashley and uncle chad.  the other day she wanted to wake sister up from her nap with it on! :)

presents...

all the kids couldn't wait to open the BIG present!  uncle jeff and tyler decorated the wrapping for the party...it was so cute!

a basketball hoop...yipeee!!!!

such a fun time!!!  i just love these kid parties!  it seems that this time of year we celebrate birthdays for a whole month.  mine is today, payton's is sunday and aunt sasa is two weeks from today.  i love this time of year, lots of reasons to celebrate and eat cake and pie!

thank you to everyone who came and celebrated out sweet girl.  i couldn't have done it with out all the help form my family, so thank you!  miss e was of course spoiled with lots of fun new toys and clothes.  she has had so much fun this week playing with her new things.
and last but not least i would like to give a shout out to my sister sarah, who is watching my girls tonight, so the hubby and i can have a birthday date night!  i cant wait!!!! 

 thank you sister, i owe you one!
