Miriam's Birthday

For breakfast, Miriam (and Sterling) had Christmas marshmallows in their oatmeal. That is also when Miriam got to open her card from Grandma and Grandpa M. She loved counting the pearls. I made her cake. I can't recommend piping with reduced sugar frosting. I had intended to put all four of her little princesses on the cake, but could only find Snow White that day. Aurora was sleeping in the barn when I had put it up.

Miriam's favorite gift was a ballerina music box from Grandparents. Her big present from us was a doll highchair. She was excited, sure, "It's a . . . a . . . !" I hadn't realized she didn't know the word highchair, but since we've never had one . . .
