We had a very fun weekend celebrating Esther's birthday. Saturday night we had a party with the grandparents, aunts and uncles, and a couple friends. Esther got some really fun gifts that she has already played with a lot! She was a little overwhelmed with being the center of attention, but I think she did enjoy herself. The theme of her party was Abby Cadabby (a cute fairy character from Sesame Street) and Grandma K. came through again with an adorable (and of course delicious) cake!
Sunday morning (her actual birthday) she opened her gifts from us and we went to church. 
Her request for her birthday dinner was steak, so Casey grilled some up after church. We hung out and played with her new toys, went for a walk and bike ride, and just relaxed in the afternoon. We ended her special day by going out for ice cream.
It's hard to believe Esther is 4 already! She brings us such joy, makes us laugh with the things she says, and can be such a little drama queen. She is also a big helper and loves to help around the house without even being asked. It seems like she has grown up a lot in the last year and it has been fun to watch her take on the role of big sister to Miriam. They have a special bond right now, and it's precious to observe them together. She and Peter seem to fight quite a bit these days, but they can also be good buddies and have a lot of fun together. It will be fun to share in the adventures of the next year as she goes to preschool in the fall. She is an amazing little girl and we love her so much!

Happy 4th Birthday, Esther! I'm sorry that the other Abby Cadabby had to miss your party, but we were happy that she could be with us for the week-end. Love, Aunt Judy
