happy birthday, eva!

the very happy birthday girl with her puppy dog cake and doggie dress.
for any of you who know my feelings about dogs, definitely her idea, not mine.
she is so independent, now that she's 3 (well i suppose she's been for a while).
hmmm... i wonder where she got that from :).
















the whole happy family!


and, by the end of the night...
the birthday princes in a doggie dress.
lots of thanks to aunt charlotte.

how exciting to celebrate eva.
she is an amaing little girl...
full of energy and enthusiasm.
she has such a blend of
my independent mind and
joel's adventuresome spirit,
tempered with a
gentle and affectionate heart.
what a gift... a challenge :) and a joy... she is!
