From Hanu & Vanu
We wanted to keep these somewhere
Happy Birthday,Bebu & Mumma.
Eleven birthdays, plenty of cake, and two very wet days out. We put these photos together for you.
For Bebu. For Mumma.
We're glad we kept these photos.
They still make us smile.
Some birthdays started on the 1st and carried on into the 2nd. That sounds about right for us.
2015Before the wedding
The year you met
Everything was still new then. Your blue dress in the afternoon, a birthday tiara later, and one of your early photos together.
2016At home
Candles and chocolate cake
Chocolate cake, candles, and that smile. You looked so happy.
2017Tea hills and waterfalls
That very wet hills trip
You and Hanu got soaked, stopped for far too many photos, and laughed your way through the hills.
2018Our first birthday as three
Your first birthday with Vanu
It was your first birthday as a mum, with tiny Vanu beside you for the cake.
2019With Vanu
Your little cake helper
Tiny Vanu wanted to be involved in everything, especially your cake.
2020Just the three of us
Birthday at home
That birthday was at home, just the three of us. The way little Vanu looks at you in these pictures still makes us smile.
2021My Lovely Mummy
The cake said it perfectly
The cake said “My Lovely Mummy.” Vanu meant every word.
What we love about you
Your beauty&your honesty
We both think you are beautiful. We also love how warm you are with everyone around you.
We love your honesty too. We know we can trust you.
2022All three of us
Cake, balloons, and a kiss
A bright cake, a balloon, a kiss from Vanu, and one slightly squeezed family selfie. A good birthday morning.
2023Legoland
A very wet day at Legoland
It poured at Legoland. The three of us got soaked and still laughed all day.
2024A card from Vanu
Vanu's card for Mumma
Vanu made you a card, helped with the candles, and kept a close eye on the cake — especially the cake.
2025With Mum and Vanu
Flowers from Vanu
Vanu arrived with a bouquet almost as big as she was. Then Mum joined in, and we somehow got everyone into a photo.
