Dr. Seuss Party, Part 1 Decor and Food

I have to say, Bruce and I totally knocked ourselves out to throw Lucy the best Dr. Seuss 4th birthday party that we could and I am pretty proud of the results! It was a wonderful day for her and hopefully for all her friends that came.

Our kids have LOVED the story The Lorax for a while now and were so excited to go see the movie. Bruce had a brilliant idea to make his own truffula trees. With some PVC pipe and spray paint he put these together. I made the tops out of tissue paper (tutorials widely available).
Of course, once I got started on them, I just had to make some extras to hang around the dining room. I used the extra paper to make a super colorful one for the front porch. These were so easy and cheap to make, I highly recommend them as party decorations for all different types of themes!
I printed out some of my favorite Dr. Seuss quotes and gussied them up with some fancy paper cutters (Thanks, Lisa!) and hung them around the dining room for some extra decoration…

Lucia is 9 today!

My sweet Lulu is already 9. She is such an amazing little lady. She has such strong opinions, such a clear sense of self and her compass aims true north. I love how she does life so gracefully. In this past year her confidence and pride in her intellect has been such a joy to witness. She is fun to be around, interesting to talk to and engaged in what's going on in her orbit and the greater world. As my love of being her Mama has grown, so too has my joy in being her friend.
