Happy #5 Miriam!

We have a five year old in our house (and we're not just talking about how Daddy acts sometimes)! That's right -- Miriam is five years old! She was so excited for her day, and she made the most of it. The day started with chocolate-chip-pumpkin pancakes for breakfast. Then, Daddy, Robin and Aaron visited her nursery school class with chocolate chip cookies and an intense reading of Otis and the Tornado. After lunch, Miriam Skyped with Grandma Jean and PopPop and opened her present from them -- an electricity experiments kit that she played with until dinner. She picked a delicious menu of tomato soup, toasted cheese sandwiches,mashed potatoes, and cantaloupe. Nana came for dinner too, bringing grapes, robusto cheese, presents, and delicious birthday brownies. Oy, so much chocolate! Miriam is such a thoughtful, caring, tough, adventurous and fun kid. We are so happy to have her in our family.

Miriam the photographer--she took this picture of Aaron. He was not amused.

Opening presents...this took literally 2 minutes for 4 presents. We were lucky to get any pictures at all.
