We love to celebrate our children’s lives.
The parties often begin before they are born. Baby showers followed by naming parties and
birthday parties move onto graduation parties and then to all sorts of other accomplishments.
It’s for the child, but it’s for the parents too. We love to show off our children!
The food changes from ice cream and candy to strawberries
and champagne! Oh and cake too,
fabulous cakes made in extraordinary guises to fit the occasion. The cake is a staple we never outgrow.
Some things don’t change.
Parties cause us to remember all the beautiful times that led up to this
one, or as one mother said while reminiscing about where she sent her son to school:
“I can’t complain.
It got you to where you are now.

Well-rounded children make life so much fun! They are always our babies no matter how old or accomplished they become.
Celebrating them is kind of like celebrating ourselves.
