Everyone who knows Paul, knows that he loves TOMS shoes. With the exception of running shoes and slippers, TOMS are the only shoes he ever wears. That's why for his 31st birthday, I decided to surprise him with a TOMS themed party. (That and because he has been saving TOMS flags for me to make into a quilt for the last 3 years!) Paul's first pair of TOMS was a pair of red stitchouts, and I wanted to incorporate a Paul Hearts TOMS theme, so the color scheme was red and the blue from the TOMS flags. The decorations were easy...TOMS shoes and pictures I took of our TOMS in our backyard. For dinner, we had tacos made with a special soft shell bread (a Kenyan recipe from our dear friend Akasha, and one of Paul's favorite things to eat), and for dessert, we had cupcakes and icecream with assorted toppings. Thank you to my mom for sewing the quilt and to our friends, Sam, Akasha, and Amber for helping me set up and make dinner.
