party time

                      what a fun filled weekend it has been and there is more fun on the horizon.
                           we had my mom's 50th birthday party at our house friday night. 

i was a little nervous because much of the preparation was done last minute and i had never hosted such a big event.  it almost felt like a house warming party at the same time since we've only been in our home a few months.  i had people asking for the tour every other minute so i missed out on the arrival or departure of some guests but i tried to talk to every person.  

we had over 50 people that celebrated with us through the night. 

i must say that my silly nerves about all the little details were ridiculous because  all anyone really cared about was enjoying the moment.  we had so much fun.  our home felt so alive with all of the chatter and laughter of family and friends.

(since her babes couldn't be there in person we had them there in a sugar version on her cake...which she loved)

now the pictures can do the rest of the talking....

party at our house.....more often!
