Seeing as we're quickly approaching Simon's birthday maybe I should get going on catching up with things on here once again.
Evelyn is quickly growing into a beautiful and spunky little girl. She definitely has her own personality and opinions about everything.
Evelyn's 4th birthday was on Thanksgiving weekend and Dan had to work all weekend. Luckily he was able to come home a bit early on her birthday. Evelyn was very patient for a 4 year old having to wait to open presents until Daddy got home from work.
Gran and Papa were here and took the birthday girl, Simon, and me to a puppet show at the Opera House. Both kids were on the edge of their seats the whole time. The show also helped get us out of the house and away from the pile of presents.

| Eventually Daddy made it home and present opening started. |
 |
| Simon liked the balloons. |
 |
| Simon noticed I was taking pictures. |
 |
| The puzzles from Aunt Abby and Uncle Max were a big hit! |
 |
| Maybe even more of a hit when she found out who they were from. |
 |
| She saved the big one from Gran and Papa for last. |
Scroll through these next few pictures slowly to help build the suspense.
 |
| A giant dancing doll! |
 |
| Simon and Ripley had to check her out. |
This year she requested a strawberry Hello Kitty cake. She did not want a boxed strawberry cake either, so I searched Pinterest for a strawberry cake recipe that actually used pureed strawberries.
 |
| She wanted to put her candle on herself. |
 |
| Happy 4th Birthday to my baby girl. |
