Little Evie is not so little anymore!

Happy birthday to our lovely Evie girl! This big girl turned 8 on Sunday and we had a fun-tastic birthday filled weekend of activities. On Saturday, we invited a bunch of her friends over for a jewelry making party and on Sunday, we were low key and had her favorite (fried rice) for dinner at home.

At 8 years old, Evie is a super sweet and gentle soul. She hates scary movies and even not so scary movies like Home Alone and Moana because she gets so upset that the kids are on their own that she cries. She's pretty shy but very loyal to her friends - one of her friend's dad told me that he and his daughter, who was new to school this year, was grateful for Evie because she apparently befriend his little girl and pulled her into their friends group.

She likes listening to Podcasts like Wow in the World and Brains On, singing and dancing, drawing, and reading books. She just finished the Fudge series, which she thought was hilarious. She's still playing flute but it's a battle every day to get her to practice! Her favorite food is dumplings, fried rice and mac n cheese (the boxed kind only!). I'm also impressed that she does pretty good with oysters and clams and salmon sushi.

Evie: you are a kind, smart, and most importantly, a GOOD person who cares about others. You fill our hearts to the brim and I hope all your wishes come true this year!
