A little over a week ago I took DD with me for a weekend visit with my parents and to celebrate my Great-grand Aunt D's 95th birthday. Five years ago family and close friends got together to celebrate her 90th birthday, and we took our 4 month old DD to meet her Great-great-grand Aunt. Aunt D is my Great-grandmother's sister and a sweeter soul would be hard to find. We were so blessed to be able to celebrate with her.
For her 90th birthday I made a little scrapbook with a two-page spread for each decade of her life. I included pictures and journaling about the milestones in her life along with newsy tidbits about culture/society/history each decade. It was a lot of fun to put together - and my how things have changed since the early 20th century. This year I framed a two-page digital scrapbook spread I created showing how our family has grown in the past five years. I think it turned out pretty nice, do you?
The large circle photo on the far left (under the title, "5 years of blessings") shows me with Aunt D holding our 4 month old DD at her 90th birthday party five years ago. Below is a picture of our 5 year old DD with Aunt D at her 95th birthday party. My how she's grown!
As much as she enjoyed seeing Aunt D again, there was one thing she loved even more - meeting new cousins her age (a nice surprise) and a little one about the same size she was 5 years ago...
Our DD absolutely LOVES babies! The sweet little one she's holding above is just a few weeks younger than she was herself at Aunt D's 90th birthday five years ago. They made a darling picture.
