President's Day 2011

The kitchen and the living room were separated by festive hats.

The coffee table held the name tags of Republicans and Democrats.

The ceiling was covered in stars and stripes balloons.

The kitchen cupboards were covered in political cartoons.

Pictures of each president were on the walls chronologically.

In preparation for the greatest President's Day Party!

Neither of us had ever felt so alive

As we waited for our invited guests to arrive.

(Winners for best dressed)

Many don't know what a President's Day Party is

Well it all begins with a President's Day Party quiz

Followed by a $100 money drop

That neither team that played proved able to stop

This was followed by a grown-up version of Memory

Matching the man to an event in his presidency.

"What more could there be?" is surely what you're thinkin'

How about an American Flag cake

and pin the hat on Abe Lincoln?

Thanks so much to all those who came to our first ever President's Day party and made my dream of 26 months become a reality! We had a blast and I hope you all did too!
