Evelyn is 4

As many of you know, I have been taking pictures of Evelyn routinely in the cozy rocking chair with the orange bird pillow. It has been so much fun to watch her grow in comparison to the bird, which surprisingly has maintained it's shape extremely well. She is used to the routine of the "bird picture" and typically climbs up into the chair and gives me a big smile. Sometimes, as you can imagine, things get a little silly and sometimes down right out of control. I am happy if I get one quality picture out of the photo session. Today I got many.
