November 11, 2008 Happy Birthday to my big girl!

All dressed up and ready to party!

Crowned a birthday girl by her classmates!

Great big grins over the SUPER AWESOME ipod from all of her grandparents!

AND the cool docking station for my little music lover!

YES, I bought that. Angi, will you still talk to me?
(it got me big hugs and a you're the best, mom)
(totally worth it)

Ready to blow out candles and eat yet more treats!

Sweetly sharing with her sister! I love how great they are to each other!
(MOST of the time...)

And now, for the Evie birthday poem....

On November 11, 2002
God blessed us with you!
Our joy was unbridled
but we were OH SO TIRED!
Quickly, quickly, the years have flown by
It certainly brings a tear to our eye!
You bring so much love to our home and our hearts
We cannot remember our life before you were a part!
Sweet baby of ours, we celebrate your birth
With cheers, a few tears and lots of mirth!
As this year you are six
get ready for lots of kicks,
as our family expands
and mommy needs your hands!
I know you'll be great
so don't hesitate
to grow up just a bit
and be ready with the diaper kit!

We love you sweet bean!
Mommy, Daddy and Charley
