JAIME: Heidi's Seussical Soiree
The day after Heidi's birthday we threw a bit of a bash to celebrate her gracing us with her presence one year ago. Since one of the things we called Heidi during my pregnancy was "Little Who" because we didn't know who was inside there, we decided on a Seussical theme. Plus, anything Seuss-related is just plan fun. After lots of prep and planning, which are some of my favorite things to do, we invited 50 friends to feast and celebrate with us. Heidi was her charming self and greeted all of her guests, made the appropriate ooo's and ahhhh's when opening her gifts, and, much to Grammie's delight, did not cover herself in cake. She was ever the princess, using a fork and daintily dipping her fingers in her cake. Grammie put a halt to it all before it got messy and whisked her off to the bathroom for clean-up. 
We are so thankful for all of the friends and family that helped set up and tear down. When the RSVP's hit 35, Johnathan convinced me we should move the festivities to the church fellowship hall instead of our home and I'm so glad we did. Heidi and all of her friends had a blast! And even if she doesn't remember it, we have plenty of photos to show her years from now of all of the people who have loved her dearly from the very beginning!
