Esther is our 9-10-11 baby. A date I’ve always found easy to remember. Thursday this pretty squirt turned 4!

Thursday began with Birthday Breakfast. A pile of powdered donuts.

Then a date with Daddy for Chinese, or “chicken rice soy sauce,” a favorite for many of the babies. Gen Tso’s Chicken night is the one meal we eat in total silence….Why don’t I make that every night?

Ummm, or just skip the whole turning him into a prince and cozy on up to the toad.

We were so happy our Vernon and Leanna could come too! They’ve been to almost every birthday party throughout the years and I said it just doesn’t feel like a birthday party without them here.

I’ve always thought the babies in the bumbo looked rather like little Queens of Sheba. And now it is so.

    The kids had to peek; they don’t want frog warts, ya know.

    It’s quite clear that she was looking forward to eating that cupcake; look how big her eyes were!
