Best Ever

While my sister was visiting, we threw my mom the best ever garden-themed birthday dinner party. It was so much fun to plan (with lots of help), to prepare (with lots of help), and to party!

Big thanks to Sara for more help than I can list in one sentence (making it a dinner party was even her idea in the first place), to Nichole for the cake recipe, and to Jenny and Steven for making sure we actually had food to eat.

The room was beautiful.


Here's some close-ups on the details.

Everyone had fun!

Happy Birthday Mom!
