Esme's Birthday, Part II

Esme will have some more gifts to open this coming week at the beach, when we celebrate Matthew's birthday (and Esme's reprise). But on her birthday morning, we stuck with just two small ones. She had some eager unwrapping-helpers...

Esme was really much more interested in getting the paper to her mouth than she was in the presents.

Voila! My very favorite kind of present.

Time to read 'em.

Classic shot of the kids--Meg reading, Esme gnawing, Matthew goobering.

Happy, happy birthday to our little Rosie! We love you more than we can say!
