My parents flew in the weekend before Evie's birthday to be there for it and I was very happy to get to spend the time with them and for Evie to be able to spend the time with them also. I was also so grateful for technology. Because we FaceTime regularly, Evie had a pretty easy time transitioning to letting them hold her and play with her. She was shy for about 2 minutes...after that it was like she saw them every day. That was a lot of fun for everyone to see.
We basically just hung out at home and worked on some projects all week. Evie got lots and lots and lots of attention and was taught some new skills! For example, Grandpa taught her how to get up on her little horsey that she has, which is all fine and good. However now she feels the need to crawl up on everything. And I mean everything. She tries to crawl into the tub, onto the ottoman, on top of the elevated dog dishes, on top of her walker (which she did manage) and out of her crib--guess the crib bumpers are never going to get used! It's pretty funny though!
For Evie's birthday we just kept it very low key--just family and a couple close friends. Evie, of course, didn't take an afternoon nap so we were all a little nervous about how the night was going to go, but she did great. She ate almost all of her cake (a personal white chocolate raspberry bundt cake--yum!) but she ate it little by little. She never really dug in--a definite lady. Haha!
She tentatively opened her presents, but was honestly way more impressed with the cards and wrapping paper.
Getting pretty tired....
The next day there were more presents!
It was a fun birthday!
