Everly turns 1, and then we party

Everly turned 1 on January 14th, 2014!!

We went to the bank and got a sucker.

Then we went to Sunnyside after school and taught a class on cupcake decorating.

We ate a quick dinner and then we were off to Mathew's 5th grade band/choir concert.

Then we went to bed.

And I said a prayer of thanks that she is too little to realize that we just bumped her birthday.

But as these things go, January 15th turned out to be a great day to celebrate!

We made a lovely low-fat pineapple mandarin orange cake. It was very delicious and made me question why I haven't tried this kind of thing before.

We were so glad that Grandma Kathleen was in town to enjoy the party with us.

Mathew read us jokes from his latest library check-out.

And, as is only right, she received many toys that moo and oink and make lots of sounds.

We love our Ever so much and and forever thankful that she is here and healthy and growing!

Happy 1st Birthday + 1 day!!
