Emily came over right after school yesterday to do some setting up. Thank goodness she did, too! After four solid hours of work, we still have much more to do this morning....
What we accomplished yesterday? Tissue paper pom-poms, streamer curtains, colourful-circle-garland-making, happy birthday banner hanging and giant caterpillar posting. Phewff. A big HIGH FIVE to Gem for doing all of the prep work behind these decorations. (For real, once you see pictures, you will understand the HOURS and HOURS of cutting, pasting, and drawing that the BEST GODMOTHER EVER put into this event).
This morning we need to run to the grocery store to pick up the food, favours, and drinks. Then we will swing by the Auntie's house and bring her back to our place for more pre-party fun. Phil, Nory and Mom P will be heading out for a little Valentine's Day breakfast/shop, while Emily and I work to complete the first birthday details. And Steve too. He has graciously agreed to come over as a reinforcement. Thanks, Steve!!!
It all sounds like a lot of work. And it is. But Em and I had the best time last night. We were so overtired that everything was funny - every little mess-up made us laugh hysterically. We've been working on a list of lessons we've learned throughout the process so stay tuned! We may just make YOUR next event MUCH EASIER, haha.
Hooray for celebrations. Did you remember to hop on a plane yesterday? Here's to hoping you special people back home are mid-flight-to-Kuwait! ;) (Kidding, sort of.)
LOVE YOU! xo
