A hail from the Chief- February 24, 2011
When we got married in 2005 I totally meant to sent a wedding invitiation to President and Laura Bush. I heard you get something in the mail. It completely slipped my pre-nuptual bride brain. That’s probably why I didn’t get an invite to Jenna Bush’s Texas soiree. (Why that girl would give up a White House wedding is beyond me. I digress.)
So when I sent out Charlotte’s birth announcement/Christmas card, I decided to address one to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Why not? I’m sure the President and First Lady care about my little baby being born. Well, she was born Election Day. That’s a day the Obama adminstration could have used some good news admidst the GOP smackdown.

| Ok, you can’t tell how gorgeous these were by this pic. Yeah, I know. I should’ve uploaded the sample from the site and blurred our name on Picnik. But, a crappy picture from my phone is the best I can do on a busy Thrusday. Sorry. I didn’t even know they made Christmas themed Birth Announcements! They are perfect for babies born in Oct.- Dec. |
What a lovely message! No matter your politics, I think it’s important for kids to know who was President and what was going on when they were born. This will go in Charlotte’s baby book for sure. I know this is just a form letter, but it fueled my ego for my kid to get props from the Prez.
Spread it around:
you're so cute lol!
Oh man, Mommy totally wishes she had done that – that message is so nice!
Wish I had done that when C was born!!!
Wow, this is so cool!
That's awesome! Totally doing that when I have kids!
That is awesome! Do you think I would get anything if I sent them an invitation to Zoodle's 3-year-old birthday party? 😉
very cool!!
Definitely something to save!
