5 years old!

I cannot believe Evangeline is 5 years old.  We celebrated her birthday last weekend the only way we knew how--going all out!  I have developed a love for planning parties. I enjoy thinking through the details and seeing everything come together. And I love watching people enjoy it all, making it all worthwhile.

For EV's 5th birthday we had a costume dance party. I let EV give me ideas of what she wants and then we do our best to put it together. Jimmy was in charge of the invite, music and food. I took care of the costume, decorations, and activities. This year EV helped quite a bit with crafting the decorations and it was such great bonding time.

The day of the party was hectic for sure but we all had such a great time. Jimmy dressed up as a lobster and EV was a mermaid. We had both kids and parents dancing. We crafted masks and the party favors were noise makers and pop rocks. Get it pop rock? Since its a dance party?

And just like that she's now 5 years old. She continues to bring our whole family laughter and joy. She truly is a gift from God and we are thankful everyday for such a blessing. Evangeline, we pray that you will grow to be a passionate, thoughtful, loving young woman of God. And that as you develop and discover new talents and passions you will use it to glorify Him. May you have a love and compassion for people, caring for those in need. We love you sweet girl and we are so proud of you!
