This is very, very detailed because I don't want to forget ANYTHING! Ever!
Theo woke up early so He and I went to the store to get Eva two balloons, donuts, and hostess cupcakes for our first breakfast. She woke up as soon as we returned home, so George and I walked her out to the living room where we had set up her balance bike from Babi and Grandpa the night before.
She came out and didn't see it at first, but then she did and she liked it and tentatively rode it around the house a bit with our help. Then she started asking to watch a movie so we gave her the lion king movie to unwrap. Of course we left Theo on the floor all day while we doted on Eva. She started to watch Lion King and Theo fell asleep so I went to go take a nap with him. Eva and George went to get chick fil a breakfast burritos for second breakfast, and we all had a great time.
George went to work and Eva and I played outside with her balance bike, chalk, etc until Theo woke up. We had George bring us McDonalds for lunch and then Eva took a nap. While she was asleep I worked on her cake and George came home and created Simba for the top.
All Eva said she wanted in the month leading up to her birthday was a lion king cake. Every time I got any sort of package in the mail, Eva always guessed there was a lion king cake inside. She'd never seen the lion king, but in one of her movies there was a preview and for some reason she got it in her head that she wanted a lion king cake.
We wanted to go to jump its, (an inflatable jumping bouncing sliding place) but it closed at 6, and she didn't wake up from her nap until 5:50. So we waited for George to finish detailing Simba and then we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Eva was dressed to the nines with her pink tutu, lime green lemur shirt, and purple boots. She had to bring her two balloons with her and it was so cute seeing her bring them into the restaurant. We made them sing happy birthday to her and it was great. We brought one present for her to open there, which was a tiny boo dog wearing a teddy bear hoodie.
We got home and brought out cake, which she loved. As I was writing out happy birthday I asked her what we should write on it, since she likes going by her middle name sometimes, and sometimes by kitty. She decided she didn't want Eva, but wanted Little Kitty Rosalyn Bush."
I was saving one special sparkler firework candle for just the right occasion, and decided to bust it out...some time ago she did say she wanted fireworks on her birthday. My mom got some when we were in the Czech Republic a few years ago and gave me a couple to smuggle into the country in case her luggage was searched. And now I wish I had a million more! We lit it up and Eva was not expecting it so she screamed a little bit and dived on the couch toward George. We sang her happy birthday and she got slightly more comfortable with the sparkler candle and then it stopped. We cut the cake, sparkler residue and all, and she ate the entire fondant Simba. Unfortunately the cake was gross :/
We then gave her the rest of her presents in a little hobo bag I made for her from a fabric line named "Lulu." She liked the bag, and then opened her cat in the hat book and 5 little plastic animals (little piggy, little lambie, little tiger. Little lion (Simba) and jungle kitty, which is a big bagheera black panther.
Then I brought out her wooden block set which we accidentally opened when it was delivered and played with once. She liked playing with those and building houses for her little animals while Theo fell asleep. He finally slept, I came out to collect her and get her in her jammies (it was 10:30pm at this point!) and she started crying because she wanted to watch Frozen. So since it was her birthday George talked me into letting her watch it while I went to bed. George fell asleep on the couch snuggling with Eva, and says he woke up when she moved to the floor, he thinks because he was snoring too loud. We both have no idea when she came into the bedroom, but I know she came in happily and woke me up to nurse her. We hope she had the best birthday ever!
My little girl loves singing, dressing up, dancing, animals, playing outside, movies, putting blankets around her like a cape and singing let it go (especially one particular purple sparkle fabric cape). She loves so many things I can't think of them all!
