Evelyn finally had a proper birthday. Though we always celebrate and shower her with gifts and attention, this time I made her an actual cake and spent the day doing just what she wanted. Now that she’s old enough to appreciate the effort, we made a bigger deal about the celebration than we did for the girls’ last birthdays.
We swam and went to the children’s museum…
…made a cake together…
…video chatted with both sets of grandparents…
…and sang happy birthday three times for good measure. Claire even joined in once she’d heard the melody a few times.
It seems like once babies started showing up in our family, life began to be measured by them. I can hardly believe it’s already/only been three years. Time flies when you’re having fun! Still, we’re looking forward to many more of years of bliss.
