Kristal sent out the invitation to celebrate with appies and dessert
on the evening of her sister's party.
She also created this beautiful chalk art.
Tehya helped me set up and scattered rose petals along the walk to the back yard ...
She poofed pom poms and we set the table under the tree.
Kari and Kristal helped me fill up the menu:
sangria / berry punch
a charcuterie plate
a Greek veggie platter
watermelon/basil skewers drizzled with balsamic
hot pepper jelly tarts
Mexican spirals
peanut butter/chocolate cupcakes
blueberry and lemon meringue tarts
and a vanilla Blaettertorte
It was a perfect evening outside with a beautiful combination
of cousins, a few aunts and long time friends ...
a night to let her know how much she is loved.
Of course I could not help but remember how I prepared for my
baby girl's first birthday ...
how my mom came to help me all day ...
and both sides of the (then small) family that came to that party.
Tehya took on the fun job using a Polaroid camera
so that everyone could participate in creating an instant memory album.
It was a night that lingered on ...
as will the memories of this day.
