Mika's party went off well. Mostly everyone invited showed up, a few that hadn't been too, and it seemed like people had a good time. Mika was selectively digging the attention being lavished upon her and showing off with her walker. She wouldn't let me touch her hair, but was good about letting Kerry do it for her. I guess Mika has decided that she needs 'people' now or something....she is *1* after all.
There were the inevitable cliques of people: my family, Daddy's family, and friends. Though people seemed to mingle well too, from what I could tell. G was parked in the middle and was able to catch up with everyone in turn. There seemed to be someone at her side, holding her hand, and talking with her the entire time. Yay G! Hopefully we'll be back in that party room in April for her 104th. I basically woke up on Mika's birthday, blinked, and the day was done. I barely got any photos, didn't really talk to anyone at the party, bleh. Ah well. Daddy shot some video and I prefer visits in smaller groups anyway. There were about 35-40 people in attendance, which is good because we had a 40 person capacity/limit. Special thanks to Damon, Kerry, and Nana for helping setup/teardown. Thanks to everyone for showing up! And thanks to everyone for spoiling Mika rotten with gifts. She received everything imaginable including a ruffle bottomed long sweater made by Kris (and star trek shoes! to match Saoirse! Woot!) and a princess bath cape made just for her by Kerry's neighbor Tannis. You know, for those ultimate baby diva days when OTR just will not do. The things that people can craft amaze me. And thanks to Josh and Kira for bringing Mika's new friends Ava and Evan to meet her. And most importantly, thank you Mika for giving us the best year (so far) of our lives.
