Jessica’s Birthday

 It’s official!  Our 6th child turned 4 yesterday!  We treat birthdays as a special thing around here so she got to pick her breakfast of peanut butter toast and craisins, a lunch of mac-n-cheese, and a dinner of fish and broccoli.  She had a Nothing Bundt Cake, which is our theme for birthday cakes this year, and vanilla ice cream.  She had a dolphin themed party and opened gifts.  She got to pick what to do all day, which was basically to play and watch TV.  Finally, she got a dinner out, which was Mader’s German Restaurant up in Milwaukee, which we did last Sunday.  


Here’s the pics!

She is so full of life!
