Evelyn has been talking about her birthday party for months...down to every last detail.
"I want ballons...a yellow one, a pink one, and a green one...and I want a chocolate birthday cake AND cupcakes with frosting and birthday candles...and I want my friends to come to my party...and a birthday hat too."
She has been to a few of her friends' birthday parties and got a pretty good sense of what it was all about.
"I want a new baby doll for my birthday."
On the morning of her birthday she nearly jumped out of bed squealing "I am 3 right now!" The excitement on her face was adorable.
At 11 o'clock sharp, family and friends joined Evelyn in celebrating her 3rd birthday with a party planned by the birthday girl herself, complete with chocolate cake AND cupcakes.
