But I found myself being very sentimental on his birthday thinking of my Evan's actual birthday, when he was one and two, and all that has happened since.
I also found myself kissing and touching his perfect, dimpled cheeks a little more thinking about the missing baby fat that was just there a few months ago.
I have loved these wonderful 3 years with this incredible boy!
Scenes from his Special Day
Breakfast in bed
The coveted doughnut
So good, some of it even got up his nose...?
Evan wanted a "Monster Truck" birthday. Unfortunately I didn't keep his cars decorations from last year, so we did some new decorations.
I created a "monster truck" just for him
and a tire birthday banner.
Evan's cousins were visiting that week and so we all went to the zoo that morning.
Evan really wanted to see the elephants,
and the dinosaurs...over and over again.
They had a fun exhibit of animated dinosaurs all over the park
that Evan LOVED! He could not see enough of them.
Some spit water too, to Maddy and Aurora's delight.
Evan's favorite was the T-Rex.
He kept saying, "Let's go see the BIG dinosaur again!"
Evan opened one of his big gifts when we got home...a new slide!
We then had a few of Evan's favorite things for dinner:
all kinds of kebabs, curly fries with cheese sauce, blueberries, watermelon, canteloupe, lots of chips and orzo with grape tomatoes. Oh, and lots of root beer.
After dinner, everyone got to make their own monster truck.
And then it was time to race...
A few scenes from the races
I cannot get over this picture, below. Whenever I need a good laugh, I just look at this because this is so my Madelyn. She is quite the competitive girl, but she has one of the kindest hearts I know. So it is just too fitting that as she passes her fellow racers, all they see on her car is
"I Love You"
She cracks me up.
Cousin Neal was nice enough to share his car with Evan. It was just his size.
Opening his gifts.
He really wanted the "Termanator" and "Frightening McMean" Monster Trucks.
Grandma Starr's monster truck cake! It was a HIT!
Thank you Grandma Starr!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR EVAN!!
