Our Agri-gated Birthday Celebration

Today we celebrated our collective eighth birthday by taking a few friends to a farm-themed show way off-Broadway.  It was a small theater, but fortunately (contrary to this pre-show photo) it was large enough that we each got our own seat.


The show was set on a farm, so we helped mommy bake a mud pie.  No, it wasn't a pie - it didn't even have a graham quacker crust.  Oh, right, it was a birthday cake, featuring a pond, a pig sty and lots of animals.


Blowing out the candles together was so much fun.  Did you make a wish?


Yes, I wished I could star in the show, and just a little while later, our friends and I got on stage and played trees in the forest.


I think the actors were pretty impressed by your performance, which is why they asked to pose for this photo with you at the end of it.



I was pretty impressed by the celebration.  Happy Birthday to us!!

School yoga taught me this version of the R. Kelly classic:

And fortunately you shared your moves with me.

Celebrate for All Eight Nights...

These eight nights were a ten! Polly and Sophie joined the family...

...and we became zookeepers for our newly-caged (stuffed) animals.

In celebration, I danced to the Maccabeats' "Candlelight" parody. Aren't I "Dynamite"?
