Esther's 5th Birthday!!!!!

A little over a week after we returned home from California, Esther's 5th birthday arrived. We had a yummy breakfast of cinnamon and  custard and then she opened gifts. Esther requested a "Frozen" Birthday theme. It is a favorite movie in my house. :)

A happy 5 year-old!

Reaching for a present...

...a princess crown from Sören!

Lillian and I gave her the movie Frozen!

Dad and Mom gave Esther the Frozen "Anna" doll!

After a great breakfast, we all climbed into the car and drove down to Lynnwood to go ice skating. Esther's friend Maryn, her family, Aunt Julie and Elin came for the party.

Before skating, we went out to lunch at Claim Jumper Restaurant with the Gates family:

Gina, Mrs. Gates, Maryn, Mom, & Esther

Dad, Sören, Lillian, Livy, & me

After lunch, our waiter brought out a red velvet cupcake for the Birthday Girl...yum!

 Ice Skating:

Sören abandoned this walker later and got really good!

Maryn and Esther...great friends!

Aunt Julie, Elin, & Esther :)
