Esther's First Birthday

Back to Photo Album

Birthday privilege: licking the beaters! Mommy helped.

Since her birthday is in the summer, we invited the whole clan (plus some friends) and served a feast out on the patio. Nothing like good food to celebrate the gift of life.

There were lots of people to help us eat all that food!

It's hard to get a picture of six cousins all under the age of five!

The summer 2009 trio: Lylah, Esther, and Patrick—June, July, and August.

Pretty pink presents!

Perhaps the highlight of the evening.

She made good work of that buttery, sugary goodness!

Little friends...

Katie Conser, only three months older than Esther.

Esther is already taking steps! She's taken about a dozen steps in a row so far, but when she falls she often stands back up and tries again.

Siblings!

Washing off all that fun.
