Happy Birthday Miss Evelyn!

How fast six years has gone by. My oh my. It's hard to imagine how much Evelyn will change in the next six years (dear god, save us from puberty), but her first six have been filled with amazing discoveries and funny misadventures.

Per Vescapades tradition, the birthday kid always gets to pick where we go out to eat the day of said birthday. As usual, my high class child chose....Cici's Pizza, the largest pizza buffet around. Really, do they all have to choose Cici's?? My dad and stepmom and brothers and sisters met us there to celebrate.





Grandpa and Grandma with the birthday girl and Soren:


What a crazy cute bunch of girls!!



Here's Evie taking one of her many birthday calls from family:



For her party, Evelyn chose bowling. The kids had a great time bowling and eating and opening gifts. It was sort of a mini kindergarten reunion in some respects. The nice thing about living where we live (semi-secluded out in Air Park) is that there is a real sense that we are our own little community. We all play on the same t-ball teams, work out at the same gyms, etc. But I digress...

Back to bowling!

Evie invited Soren to her party, but not her brothers.

Bowling like a maniac:

The grown ups got to bowl, too.



Love ya, Peapod! I can't wait to share the rest of my life with you (minus puberty, of course.).
