Eva Turns 3

  We had so much fun celebrating Eva's birthday this year.Terry, Jenny and their 5 girls arrived the night before, and so Eva woke up to her big day with 5 cousins to play with all day! Jenny had a doctors appointment that morning, so she and Terry headed to town, while all 9(!) of the girls played and giggled the day away here at our house. Ryan took them all for a big walk down our road and out on the dyke while I decorated for the party.

                                                   The 2 smallest , Elin and Kaleigh

                                                       All the girls sitting pretty!

                                               How blessed are we?

       

  Samson (the Sante's dog) and I walked up to meet them on their return trip, and had a quick visit with our neighbor  Julia Beyers. She had lots of little cups full of water for all those thirsty girlsies, much to all their delight!!

                                                 After a feast of pizza and garlic fingers we lit the candles. Eva requested a blue butterfly cake this year, and so after a little searching online, I found a design idea that was perfect.

                                                    We had one of our many Wood Point  stand-in grandmothers , Sharon Wood come for the party too.

   

                                                            So Yummy!

                                               Then came the part Eva had been waiting for all day..her presents!

                                           A very cozy  bath towel/robe .
