We celebrated Nigel’s birthday on Tuesday afternoon. It was a madhouse.
A fun one, but a madhouse nonetheless. You see, compared to everyone else, Nigel is incredibly shy.
Look at Ellsworth, for example. He has no shame:
Neither does Patrick:
You probably know by now that the birthday boy or girl here always gets the first bite of cake.
In the midst of the mayhem, sweet Nigel was ever the timid one:
Don finally managed to serve Nigel his first bite:
Nigel thoroughly enjoyed his cake:
And so did everyone else. Here are the lovebirds; Mr. and Mrs. Worthington J. Worth:
Ellsworth most definitely has no shame:
Neither does Harriet, really:
And Patrick licked the spoon. Madhouse. The end.

I think I hear them chanting “More cake, more cake, more….”
Lucky Donks! 🙂

Oh, don’t try to fool us–we know there’s no end to the madness! Happy birthday to Nigel. Ellsworth may get the title “Mr.” but Nigel’s official title is “Sweet!”

It’s a good thing that Don has long arms. And Mr. and Mrs. Worthington J. Worth licking the blueberries off each other’s noses? Doesn’t get any cuter.

It’s hard to believe that Nigel is already six! He happens to be my favorite…maybe because he is a larger version of my Russell…maybe just because he seems so sweet. I have a feeling it is a madhouse any time food is involved. 🙂

Happy Belated Birthday dear Nigel. You have come so far from the very frightened boy who thought there were alligators in the water to a wonderful shy but beautious hearted donkey of the realm. The cuckoos love you so. And as for Mr. and Mrs. Worth….just darling. Sorry we’re late in our good wishes, Oma Linda
