Happy Birthday LissaLou!


This event took place on Friday 20th February 2009 and I was so happy to be in Guadeloupe to take thesse photos!
Above are the morning events. Notice the photos on the wall behind Lissa. This is a new tradition that her mum has started - showing her life so far in pictures. Behind Papa mixing the birthday cake you can just catch a glimpse of 'Bon Anniversaire!'

Later we went to la campagne to have a barbecue and birthday party. The only problem was that it was a very windy day and the candles would NOT stay lit long enough to be blown out! So here you see Lissa pretending (pour faux?) for the sake of the camera.At our evening meal that day I lit a large table candle which she was able to blow out.
Lissa's is the only birthday in her class which is in February. Unfortunately the school was closed (the strike...) at that point. However when they reopened la maitresse was kind enough to do another bit of pretending and celebrate Lissa's birthday a bit late. Merci, madame!
