Celebrating LouLou

Time to remedy a long lack of posting! May 2009 is fleeting by, but while April is not yet a too distant memory, I'll share a few happy memories of LouLou reaching double digits at her 10th birthday. 

But first, some memories from a little further back…

LouLou’s First Birthday

Fast forward nine years to Birthday Morning 2009.  Manuski has a birthday tradition of building names out of Legos. This time, it got a little more elaborate as he built an entire springy scene.

I wish I’d taken a photo of all the bunnies lined up on the platter! At our little family party, there was a cake with a chicky popping out of an eggshell. On Easter Day, we celebrated a little more with extended family. 5+5=10, get it?  Easter is such a nice time to have a Birthday! Happy Ten, LouLou! Ten beautiful Golden Years.
