Estelle turns 7! Happy Birthday Estelle!

 Estelle's birthday began with a great bday breakfast of pancakes and Vermont maple syrup.
 Auntie Martha and Auntie Lisa were still around the day after "The Move", which made Estelle's bday even more special.

 Cole called Estelle to sing on the telephone.
 Papy & Manou called from France.
 Estelle sits in Grammie's "New Room" to talk.
 After lunch, a 2nd ice cream cake for Estelle!

 Lots of fun presents to open.



 I think Heather looks so incredibly beautiful in this photo below - what a profile!
 Making messy bead tatoos - thank A LOT Aunt Darline!  :-)


 Round 2 for Uncle Wesley hooking up all the entertainment center.
 The morning after Estelle's bday, Estelle got a lovely private horseback ride at the home of the Kennedy family who live far up Perron Hill.
 This horse is named Mesa, and the lady guiding him is Joanna, Anya's mom.

 Léna goes up on Mesa for her turn.


 The Kennedys have a trampoline.  Estelle was so happy.



 Even the Mommies got in on the action.
 Darlene gets her ride.
 Estelle ate watermelon on her birthday - proving that 7 is in fact the Age of Reason.
What a GREAT birthday.  We also had a nice swim in Shadow Lake.
