Esme's Fifth Birthday: Home Highlights

The day after the Frozen party was Esme's actual birthday. We kept it super simple, with a Daddy/Esme date in the afternoon, Esme's choice of mac 'n' cheese for dinner, and homemade ice cream and presents before bed.

Graham understands the presents thing all too well now; he was ready and waiting to help Esme with her unwrapping. (Actually he all but unwrapped one solo before we even started.)
