We were too busy to celebrate my birthday ON my birthday –hard to imagine given the current situation.  We postponed my birthday until everyone could be home.

There was chocolate.

And cards. 

Stewart drew this one.  You can see how he assigned each duck a personality based on the birth order.  When the kids were little, I would have them, “Walk like ducklings” while we shopped, to keep our footprint as small as possible for other shoppers.  Stewart duck is wearing a hat.  Nigel duck is the tallest.  Marie duck is singing, or waving… Tabitha duck has curly hair and Johanna duck has on glasses.  Mommy is carrying Katriel duck. 

Katriel asked if she could take photos as I unwrapped my gifts.

We enjoyed some seriously decadent Hummingbird Cake.
