Her special day

After her big birthday party day, we still wanted to make Eva feel special on her actual birthday. You might at well celebrate special days, right? That's how we think about it. The things we did weren't huge, but they were super fun for Eva. Starting with....a birthday morning pancake! I saved her Elmo candle and put it on her pancake and then she got to watch her new Veggie Tales movie while she ate. After breakfast we headed off to church to see all her friends. She got a birthday hug from Jesse and got to play with Reece and her other nursery friends. For a girl who loves church and other people, this was perfect! 

Even though it was her birthday, she still had to take a good nap. Even grown ups wish for a birthday nap :) She finally got to wear the new Toms that Aunt Mel gave her. Then we took advantage of her kid's club birthday coupons. She got a free cupcake from the Barnes and Noble Kid's Club and a $3 gift card from Geoffrey the Giraffe to spend at Toy's R Us. We showed her all the choices she could make to spend her $3....I LOVE her face when we show her choices. She gets this huge smile and you can tell she is trying to make up her mind. She ended up choosing a little pink toy mixer that's just like my grownup one. Then we took her to the pet store to look at all the pets. We did not buy any pets. But a nice lady did let her pet her two dogs. Eva loves dogs. 

Sunday night we had a youth party to for the Cowboy's first game. Eva got to play with Duke, the biggest dog ever, watch the game with friends, and dance around on the ottoman during the commercials. No, she doesn't like to be the center of attention. Where would you get that idea?! Haha, okay she loves it. I think people sang Happy Birthday to her 10 times that day and she soaked up every minute of it. Love my little diva!
