10 years!

We celebrated 10 years of married life last Thursday. Norma and Kurt surprised us with (half a) cake that they ordered at the bakery. Thank you! We had a great day. Lily had an important appointment in the morning (more on that later), then Norma and Kurt took us out for a celebratory lunch at our favourite Italian restaurant, we had the cake in the afternoon, and at night Norma and Kurt babysat while the not-so-newlyweds went out on a date and had a drink or two.

To commemorate the occasion I stepped into my wedding gown again. Neil couldn't put on his suit, though. Ten years later, the mystery of the missing pants is still not solved. (Sorry, dear, but you are never going to live THAT one down. ☺)
On to the next decade! So happy to have you in my life. ♥

And these two, of course.

And here is Lily at her important appointment. Our friend Temi is a pharmacist, and pierces ears at the pharmacy she owns with her husband, Daniel. Lily loves Temi and was so excited about going to "Temi's store to get my earrings" that she was up and ready to leave at 6am! Here they are picking out a pair of earrings together.

All ready to go - and ...

... done!

It did hurt her a bit (of course) and there were some tears, but by the time we were out of the pharmacy Lily declared, "Well, that wasn't so bad!"

Showing off her new earrings - little pink flowers.

And back to her old happy self at Michelangelo's for pizza e pasta.
