Esther is 8!

Today was Esther's birthday.  How can she be 8 already?  She started the day with breakfast at Real Food Cafe with Daddy, who took the day off work in honor of her birthday.  Then he dropped her off at church for the last day of Vacation Bible School.  All 3 kids and I have spent the week doing VBS and it's been a lot of fun!  After VBS we picked up Casey and headed to Olga's for lunch and even got to sit outside.  Then we went home and Esther opened her gifts:

A notepad and fun binder clips from Peter:

Foam letter stickers and neon gel pens from Miriam:

A CD player/radio with a remote (so she can control it from her loft bed!), the game Blokus, and a Bible case and devotional book from mom and dad:

Tonight she has a couple friends sleeping over.  They've done crafts, played games, eaten pizza and cupcakes and ice cream, and are now having popcorn and watching a movie.  Hopefully they get a bit of sleep tonight too!
