It's April 7th and ESTHER MARIE IS THREE!! We are SO excited to celebrate her first birthday since she has joined our family. The "party" started on Sunday night with our church home group. I made some cupcakes and Emmie blew out the little happy face candles. It's very sweet to me because she goes right along with it even though she doesn't really have a clue what is going on. We have been trying to teach her to say she is "three" but I know she doesn't understand.
Today, we have a relaxed day planned because "dad" is in an all-day meeting and the other kids are at school. Tonight, we are going out to dinner with an old friend from California who is in town...and I have some more cupcakes to bring along. The weather has turned chilly, so our petting-farm/picnic trip that was supposed to be this morning with our early intervention group has been rescheduled to a warmer day. Oh well...we are flexible! I have always thought flexibility is a MUST when you have children!
This weekend we will be celebrating Easter and two birthdays...for Esther Marie and Jasper. Yes....Jasper's birthday is today also and he turns 51. When I ask him how it feels to be 51 with a three-year old, he makes a face at me...but I know he LOVES it...and he loves the kids. Oh...and me! Jasper likes to down-play his birthday and told me not to make him a cake. I ignored him and made one anyway....chocolate, cream cheese frosting (homemade), cherries and toasted almonds. It was SO good. We shared it with our "home gropu family."
We have birthday celebrations planned all week long....not just one day! That makes it more fun! I love my family...Happy Birthday sweet Esther Marie and my precious husband, Jasper!!
