Happy Birthday, Amy!

Last night we journeyed into the magical world of Narnia, to celebrate Amy's sixth birthday. Amy adores this fantasy tale, and has listened to all seven of the Chronicles of Narnia books. For her sixth birthday, her only request was for a "Narnia party" with her family. I have to work today, so we celebrated her birthday last night. We donned crowns and fancy dresses, and pinned blankets around our shoulders for robes. We enjoyed a lion cake in honor of King Aslan. And as I looked across that table and saw Dan solemnly eating his dinner and cake with a baby blanket tied around his shoulders, I realized how lucky these children are to have a Daddy that shares in their imaginative world.

Happy Sixth Birthday, Princess Lucy. We love you very much!!!
