Wasn't that a Party!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who came out to help us celebrate our 15th birthday. What a totally happy time it was. We were thrilled to see so many of you there, and we were so impressed with how well all the children did in the midst of all the excitement. Everything went remarkably smoothly - there wasn't even a single cake mishap!

And I, Judy, personally want to thank all of the Mountain Baby staff for working so hard, being so organized and keeping all the activities flowing and easy. Thanks to Lindsay for coordinating the whole event and organizing the hand prints on the sidewalk. The hand prints look great and they will be there for years to come.

Thanks to Bobbi for meeting, greeting and helping customers who wanted to make purchases, and for being her smiling friendly self. Thanks to Amanda for assisting everyone with everything and making sure things went smoothly. Thanks to Craig and Will for taking photos and videos and helping out wherever needed. Thanks to Shannon for making sure everyone got a present. Thanks to Jen for the great face painting. It was amazing how patiently all the children waited. They just stood quietly and waited their turn. Pretty impressive.

And last but not least, thanks to my daughter Elena for writing that wonderful history of Mountain Baby in honour of our 15th birthday. She was only 10, and her older brother Aaron was 12 1/2, when Mountain Baby (Comfort and Joy), started. Now they are "launched" and out in the world.

We have some great photos we'd love to share with you. There are two collections on flickr to check out. The first is our photo montage with all the pictures you sent in of your children. The second is the collection of photos from the party. There are also a few videos on our youtube page. Enjoy!
