happy birthday evie

on saturday ben & i were invited to a first birthday party for our friend nilay's daughter evie. it was fun to experience a turkish birthday party (friends & family, lots of great home-cooked food) and meet some of nilay's friends. evie provided non-stop entertainment with her adorableness.


evie in her chair, which she ADORES bouncing in!

concentrating on blowing out her first candle on her first birthday cake with some help from mom.

seriously-- she could not get enough of this chair. look at those cheeks!
