Saturday was Evans 2nd birthday. We had planned a day very similar to Sophie’s first birthday. Family and a few friends starting at 3 PM. Evan had a few friends here, (Lonan, Christopher, Charlotte) so total was about 10 kids and 16 adults or so. Evan and sophie woke up from their nap at about  2 pm, so they had some time to explore the new stuff in the backyard before everyone arrived. The whole day ended up pretty darn good. Evan enjoyed every minute, got lots of great presents, and loved the singing and cake part!
