(Esther showing the jewlery box she got from her other oma for 8th birthday. Congratulations! We took her back home with us for a special b-day treat with Maria whose birthday was just a few days later. Below is the fancy horse cake Betty made! - pretty artistic, eh?)
....bookshelves around the stairwell. Esther helped me unload books on to the shelves and only got a little side-tracked. Great that they're all such avid readers tho!
... a cozy place to zonk out!
Sweet!
