The Heit "twins".... Who invited Elmo?

7.. and a half... October 14, 2008

I am guilty of starting the half-birthday tradition with Jadyn. Every year for the last .. I don't know?? we've let her choose a cake that she wants (the last few have been soccer balls, basketballs and surfboards...) and the "birthday fairies" have left a few trinkets for her turning .. so much older. Guess who forgot this year.. Not Jadyn. Luckily I had a few nick nacks and a Ramona book in hiding.. and this awesome new cake pan from Aunt Terry. Nothing like a giant cupcake to ring in the half year.

Showering Stef and Jordan... with gnomes and mushrooms..

In preparation for their wedding in the woods! All went off without a hitch! Little trolls decked the house (I can't believe I didn't photo the silly solar powered lantern gnome at the entry!!!)

Topiary favor flowers by Julia.. gnome gum by Powells vintage candy wonderland..
A brave guest would let these two valet... ha! Actually Justin was "Heit Valet services" and these two stayed watch for the guests of honor.
Cousin Sam and her first diaper change client
Crafty is not a good enough word to describe these works of art made by Stef's friend Julie.. all hand knit and wearing clothes that both S and J actually OWN. crazy!

Brother in laws to be....
the meringue mushrooms were kind of a flop, but I guess do resemble actual fungi?
Labels by pica press to match the invites!

V-day prep

a favorite day for me...even if I can only muster up a fraction of my mom's passion and sugar cookie production for the holiday..
