Sweet merciful heaven it's family year!
AND
Everly's birthday falls on a Sunday.
Which! Means that we needed to do a few essential birthday celebration tasks on Saturday.....like.....
Heading to the mall in subzero temperatures (if you know me and my love of space heaters, you will know how much leaving the house was an act of pure love)
She picked out a green corduroy mini backpack, some green nail polish and green slime. She loves green!
Everly helped finish up the birthday cinnamon rolls, all ready for rising in a warmish oven because it was cold outside and in the house. We got out the blog books and read about each of her birthdays...which inspired a last minute change in cake plans! The rainbow cake demands an appearance!
The warm oven did it's job well.,,,and let me tell ya, these were the best cinnamon rolls I have ever made. DELISHious.
All the girls are insistent on decorating their own cakes. Can't say I blame them...it's the funnest part!
As she was lighting the candles we realized that we were missing Mathew and Ethan and Kassie for the singing of the birthday song!
Happiest of birthdays, my Everbee. May you always have days full of lava lamps and 4 layer rainbow cake!
She invited the Flynn's to come over for her favorite...Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes and homemade rolls. We through together a fruit salad to ward off the scurvy.
Just as the candles got dangerously low... they magically appeared! And Mathew was out sledding! It's sad not to have them here with us, but it's so much fun to have them on the phone and still sharing in the birthdays. Technology has its moments.
And she's an official Swiftie!
