Donut Walk
Walking to the donut shop on Sunday morning - had to stop for a picture!
Birthday Candy
We spent Evie's actual birthday in downtown Denton, hitting all our favorite spots. We started out at Quakertown Park to play on the playground, then headed to J&Js Pizza for lunch, then Recycled Books & Records for books, and then stopped by Atomic Candy on the way out for a little treat! Pretty good birthday, I'd say!
Quakertown Tree
Sam's getting to be a good tree climber. He's climbed several different trees in Denton, but hadn't yet tried this one at Quakertown Park near downtown. He stayed up there for quite a while and enjoyed the view.
Pancake Chef
Evie got a Shopkins cookbook from Gram and Pops at her birthday party. The very next morning we were making...Donut Pancakes! She was a good little pancake chef, but a better pancake eater.
And of course, when you cook in the kitchen, you have to do the dishes!
Birthday Party!
Evie's fifth birthday get-together was a hit! It was doll-themed, though not intentionally, really. I found instructions on how to make a cute clothespin doll that I had to try as a cake-topper, Evie asked for a dollhouse for her birthday, as well as a toy called an "L.O.L. Doll". So it was dollies galore at our house!
Happy Birthday Evie!
Preschool Thanksgiving Potluck
Evie's sweet preschool hosted an awesome Thanksgiving potluck for the kids and their families. Since Gram came with us on our pumpkin patch field trip, we invited Pops to join us for the potluck meal. The kids performed a couple of songs and then we all ate some home-cooked, Thanksgiving food. Yum!
The Park with the Purple Swing
Took a walk to Evie's favorite park - the "park with the purple swing". She could swing on this thing forever...
