Happy Birthday to Lu!


Shhhh.  The festivities may have happened a day early this year (thanks to mommy and daddy's crack of dawn flight the day of her actual birthday), but the birthday girl was none the wiser.  She was still every inch the princess worthy of a jeweled and gaudy, I mean, glamorous, crown.


Dinner (pizza, of course) was a mere formality and one step closer to the prize.  A very pink birthday cake with (go figure) a ballerina on it. Sugar Sweet Sunshine is the absolute go-to for all our sweet and celebratory confections, and, as usual, they didn't disappoint.  Yum!


Three candles were extinguished, and the cake...slowly...disappeared.


This will likely be the last year that Lulu is actually, genuinely surprised that she got gifts.  She'd have been happy with just the cake and decorations.  But there was more!  Including a new tutu, an Angelina Ballerina doll, games, and lots of other (mostly ballet-related) things.


She was a very happy birthday girl indeed.  That is, until bedtime.  A massive sugar high, coupled with over stimulation brought on by hoards of pink presents makes it somewhat difficult to wind down.  Understandable, of course.  Lets just say it looks like three is going to be a very good year.

We love you Lulu! xx
