As you can imagine, Mom was quite the party planner for Mia's first big event... We hosted about 70 friends & children at the club, with all the usual food, drinks and birthday cake. Mia also insisted that we hire the current world champion balloon artist! (no joke...) What this guy could do with balloons was more impressive to the adults than it was the kids. And of course we had the obligatory face painter to make sure that no child went home clean! Mia was very proud of her Winnie the Pooh art. It was quite impressive that the painter was able to finish this piece in the 7 seconds that Mia sat still for her... The party was lots of fun for everyone.
While we realize that Mia won't have any memory of her first birthday, it warms our hearts to see her surrounded by so much love and attention. She's such an incredibly special little girl. We will spend our lives showering her with love and attention in hopes of showing our appreciation for all the happiness she has brought into our lives!
