Having Fun While Turning One!

Happy first birthday to our sweet, spunky, smart little lady! Evelyn celebrated her birthday a bit early with a pumpkin-themed party with her aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and great-grandparents (what a lucky one-year-old!). On her actual birthday, Evelyn attended Eli's preschool Halloween party and celebrated with birthday cake and singing with Mommy, Daddy, and Eli. As many parents can probably relate, it feels like this past year was the fastest year of our lives, while at the same time it seems as though Evelyn has always been here as part of our family. Feeling thankful for a wonderful first year, and looking forward to more laughs, wonder, awe, and adventures in year number two!
