Birthday party
Among the many things I admire about Jamie’s mom is her cleverness. When Jamie announced that he wanted a Ratatouille party for his 4th birthday, she could’ve shelled out for Pixar-sanctioned Remy-ness: Remy plates, Remy napkins, Remy cake, Remy balloons, a pin-the-tail on the Remy game. But Cate cleverly granted Jamie’s wish by dressing him and his young guests as chefs, and letting them prepare their own pizzas, mix fruit salads to their own specifications, and frost and decorate their own cupcakes. There wasn’t a corporate rat in sight. And the critics, like Anton Ego, were ultimately satisfied. Above, Charlotte, Jamie, Jack and Leda dig in for some homemade pink frosting. Many more photos document the big event in the Jamie Turns 4 album.
