"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Birthday











This year I had a great birthday, mostly because E was old enough to spend her day celebrating it. She made my bed all by herself and made me lots of presents including a crown, a ring, and a whole book she illustrated and wrote.
I also made some cheesecake... how'd I do Laura? Not as good as yours, but I'm not sure they can mail your creations.

your cheesecake actually looks divine!

That is really cute, and I really want some of that cheesecake.

We'd love to go on a trip with you guys, but I don't think you need us to plan fun stuff. I'm green with envy over the horseback riding.

Laura said...

It doesn't have to look pretty, it just has to taste good. And that looks like it tastes great! I hope you ate the whole thing and only shared a very small portion!

That is a fantastic crown. Glad you had a great day. We ended up calling my sister in law on your birthday (hers is the next day) and missed you all together. SORRY!

Happy Birthday (late) Jamie. I'm glad that Ellie was so good at celebrating you.

Btw, I also loved her portrait of your family. I especially liked how Justin is big, but you are basically the same size as the kids.

I like the portrait too!.....especially M's antennae.

E is the perfect party planner - really you lucked out.
