Milestones

As a family we have hit some big milestones lately.  Evelyn turned two on October 8th and graduated from her crib to a big girl bed.  We built our first blanket fort and Jesse put together his first bike.  He wasn't too keen on my documenting it, but as you can see he cooperated nicely.

Evie LOVES the movie Cars and her favorite character is Mater, hence the cake.  I didn't tell her that was what I was making and she was so excited when she saw it!

 

 

We had some of our friends over to celebrate with us: the Crims and the Dixons.  Evie loves them all so much and is constantly asking where they are when they aren't around.

 

 

Our friends Tony and Elisabeth came to visit the weekend after her birthday and couldn't resist getting her something too!

Here she is on her big girl bed.  She has been a champ and transitioned quite nicely.  She is really excited to be sleeping in a big girl bed like mommy and daddy!  Each night after we tuck her in and say good night she tells us "and don't get out of bed Evie". She even said it when she saw me putting up this post.

 

 

And finally the fort and one stinking cute girl!!
