Little Miss Lu turns 5

My niece Morgan, who has more nicknames than one can count, turned five today.  For the last year or so I've called her Little Miss Lu or Little Lu for short, as of today she has requested that we call her Big Lu she is now five and is not little any longer. In fact, she told me today she feels much taller than when she was four.

Quent and I were invited to go to dinner with Morgan and her family for her birthday.  Morgan requested a fancy dinner at the Training Table.  For my out of state friends and family the Training Table restaurant is a step or two above fast food where you order via telephone from your table and then go pick it up when your table is buzzed.  In order for the dinner to be fancy, we had to wear fancy clothes.  Morgan dressed in a party dress, and she told us that the girls must wear pretty clothes and the boys must wear handsome clothes. Quent pulled out a fancy sweater, one I have never seen before and I actually put on full makeup and dressed up in pretty clothes.  Pretty fancy if you ask me.

We had a fun time with the kids at dinner and had fun with Morgan as she opened her presents.  TJ gave her a dog pillow pet which was by far her favorite present. She got a bunch of art supplies and a new artist easel.  She practiced writing our names and even added a few hearts.  The cupcakes were frosted with love and TJ added his touch with green and blue sprinkles.  Morgan is excited for her first friends birthday party on Saturday, her birthday celebration has only just begun.

Here are a few pictures of the night.
