We were able to celebrate Evelyn's birthday over several days. Some sweet old ladies that live a couple of houses down from us brought over this cute (but a little funny-looking) cake that I think is supposed to be a lamb (or a poodle?). The cake was a thank-you gift for Alan shoveling their driveway a couple of times during the winter. We decided to use it as an early birthday cake for Evy to destroy.

| Lamb or poodle? |

| Evy's cheeks are all red because she had a little bit of an allergic reaction to some strawberries. |
Evy often puts her hands behind her head like this. She does it when I read stories to her in her rocking chair. I think it is so cute.

| Yummy cake! |

| Do you want some, too? |
Evelyn is our first child to actually give us a show with eating/smashing her birthday cake. We were quite disappointed with Jared's and Maggie's first birthdays. Ha ha.
About a month ago I got bit by the crocheting bug and decided to make Maggie and Evy matching lavender dresses to wear this spring and summer. (Seriously, it had been about a year and a half since I had last done any crocheting.) The pattern I found online was in Maggie's size, so I made that one first and then had to try and alter the pattern to make one Evy's size. I admit that I had to undo quite a bit to make it finally work out.
I finished Evy's dress on her birthday.

This next video is of Evy opening up one of her presents a couple of days after her actual birthday.

Way to dive into that cake Evelyn!
Happy Birthday to Evelyn! Shoot! That means it's been over a year since I've seen you. We've GOT to get together this summer. The dresses you made are beautiful. I'm very impressed.
What a cutie! Love the dresses; you are so crafty!
