A Bubble Birthday

Evie Doll turned 2!  What in the world!?  We officially have a 2-year-old on our hands and we couldn't be more blessed to have this one!

Evie currently LOVES playing at the park and she LOVES bubbles, so we planned to have a family Bubble Party at the park.  The day had seriously been relatively nice, but about 10 minutes before the party the wind picked up and it got chilly.  The party went on and everyone came, including Evie's birth family, and were super accommodating and great sports regardless.  This girl is loved!

We just kept things simple and had some yummy homemade desserts and goodie bags.  While we brought lots of bubbles, the wind was too crazy to blow them.

Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles!

The kids didn't mind the windy conditions one bit.  They played at the park and had so much fun!

We opened gifts at lightning speed.  Evie was spoiled by all.

Cousin HaLee was happy to help!

We gave her a bike.  She's WAY into bikes right now so
we thought she would love having her own.

After the party we took a minute to honor Evie's birth mom in our home.  She means sooooo much to us, and the day of Evie's party also happened to be Birth Mother's Day.  We gave her a Shutterfly book that captured pictures, as well as her development, over Evie's first two years.

Man, we love and respect this woman more than you know!

That night we took Evie to her favorite restaurant.  She loves to eat chips and salsa, so Mexican it was! It was just a quiet dinner with the three of us and Beau and I reflected on our last two years with this beautiful girlie, the amount of love we have for her, and the awesome privilege it is to call her our daughter.  All three of us are so very blessed.  It brings tears to my eyes!

I must add that a birthday wouldn't be complete at our house without a horse ride.  Evie is getting WAY into the horses and loves to ride with daddy.

We had a great time celebrating Evie's 2nd birthday!  We're so grateful for the amount of love that is poured out on her by her family and friends.  She's one lucky girl, and we cannot express the amount of joy we feel to be blessed by her beauty every day.  Happy Birthday to our sweet Evie Doll!
