For those of you who know Eva, you know she has a unique spirit. To give you an idea of her optimism, as we watched the Olympic Gymnastics on TV she said very seriously, "I think I could do that if I practiced." Another time this week, she was at my soccer game when she turned to Tanner and said "I am going to go make some friends," and 5 seconds later she had achieved her goal.
Eva is always happy, always willing to tackle challenges, and very energetic and physical. One minute she will be doing cartwheels the next falling into the splits and grooving to some music. On 7/7/2012 Eva turned 5! She loved her gifts and had such a great time trying them all out. As you can see, she was not afraid to show and scream her excitement. We were so happy to celebrate such a wonderful girl who is growing up way too fast. She is a great sister (Ben and her are the best of friends), talented ballerina, and just a joy to be around. Our family could not get enough of spoiling her. After her gifts and her party we headed to build-a-bear where Eva got to pick out a new friend with accessories. After that Eva wanted Chinese food and Orange Chicken. At the end of the day as she was fading off to sleep she looked at us and said "that was the greatest day ever."
Although Eva went through many different themes, she ultimately settled on a Hello Kitty theme for her big day.
BRACE FACE- Tanner got his braces friday and although he is hurting he actually was excited to get them on. Braces, somehow, make T look even older. We still can not imagine he starts high school in less than 2 months.
