 Today was my birthday, and it was pretty great. First, Dan brought home breakfast after pt, so I didn't have to cook anything, and then the kids and I went for a walk. In the afternoon, my friend, Grace, surprised me with a cake and then we went out to lunch. So sweet. Love her. This evening, Dan came home early with a few little presents and made us dinner. It was so nice not to have to cook at all today. After dinner, we went downtown and decorated a cake for my birthday, which we promptly ate as soon as we got home. I feel so loved and so spoiled. Jeanette came over tonight and gave me some symphony bars and beautiful bookmark, and I was so surprised and so happy! I haven't had a symphony in over a year cause you can't find them here, and they're my favorite! Such a great day.

Today was a blast! We had Evie's birthday party in the morning, and then after everyone's naps, we drove up to the Donghwasa temple to look around.

Evie's party was a lot of fun and we had some really great friends over to help us celebrate. The theme was candy land, and Evie was Princess Lolly.
 

My friend, Abby, made this cake for Evie. Isn't it fantastic?

Evie got ALL of the toy story characters from Grandma. Sort of overshadowed the bike we bought her, but that's okay. ;)

 It was uncharacteristically cold on the mountain, and none of us were dressed appropriately, but we all had fun.
