Esther is 5!!!

It truly seems yesterday that Esther was placed in my arms. She was two weeks late and was 9 pounds and 3 ounces, loads of dark hair, and chubby chubby cheeks, arms, and legs. She looked right into my eyes and gave me a look that clearly said, "Hi Mom, I'm here!" She's been as alert and full of life ever since then!

We adore our dear girl - her imagination, spirit, humor, and love. Happy Birthday, Esther!!

She said the blessing on the food and exclaimed, "Dear Heavenly Father, I'm sooo excited it's my birthday today!!"
Fairy cupcakes - delicious and very moist homemade chocolate cupcake recipe.
Esther's favorite dinner - Janis family mac and cheese.
Esther got a nightgown and matching one for her dolly.
Isn't she sweet?
Esther's favorite birthday present - her first bike!

Happy, happy birthday Esther dear!! I can't believe how time flies by. She's lovely, and what a joyful addition to your family. Give her a birthday squeeze from us, and wish her luck on her first big girl bike! Take care.

That prayer is so sweet--helps me remember how Heavenly Father must feel about all of us as his children, especially the little ones :)
Happy Birthday, Esther!
