Happy Birthday Daddy!

Well, obviously we've got some catching up to do...

Lou's birthday was October 1st. Having just come off of what was a pretty stellar celebration of her third trip around the sun (that lasted well in October itself actually), Josie was really psyched about Lou's birthday.  I wanted to give her full freedom to get him whatever she wanted as a gift. We talked about it for almost two weeks, and *finally* she came up with the "perfect" present.  "We have to get Daddy a stuffed animal for his birthday! He doesn't have anything to sleep with. We should go to Target!"  So, with that, we went to Target and she picked out this little monkey "so Daddy will have something to cuddle with at night."

She was insistent that he wanted a blue bag with the biggest bow you can find.  She spent a good ten minutes in the card aisle and then quickly made up her mind when she found a card with dogs that bark to the tune of Happy Birthday when you open it.

She chose big shiny My Little Pony stickers that she just knew Louie would love and then rounded the whole thing off with a Fruit Loops t-shirt that she thought he would think was funny.

 

She was so excited that we had to get the present ready in the parking lot so we could give it to Lou as soon as we walked in the door.  I don't know what was sweeter - Lou's reaction to opening the gifts or Josie's glowing smile at seeing Lou's reaction. 

(I am truly the luckiest person in the world!)
