Happy Birthday to my sweet mother in law! I am so blessed to partake in the inheritance of blessing the Lord has bestowed on her- her children. I am married to the Love of my life and her oldest son. We have two beautiful children who light up there GG's (Gorgeous Grandma) life as well as ours!
These past few years we have left for vacation during her birthday making me want to celebrate her before we left this year. But more than that she blesses us so much all the time with her generosity and in lavashing our children with love. In light of this I decided a surprise birthday party was in order! I do love to host people and bring them together to celebrate and bless others! So we planned it and were able to keep it a secret until the day of-barely! Here are a few glimpses of this beautiful night where we celebrated our all American gal!
Dad brought her over to "let Josh borrow a tool" on their way to dinner. "She should come in to see the babies before they went to bed," he strongly suggested. She walked in and Our sweet little Giselle hurt her finger on the door. So we and the 20+ people in our dinning room waited patiently for GG to console her before we yelled surprise!
She was completely surprised and I love how she just embraces Josh! This is one the things I love the most about her she is always ready to hug you and put you at ease!
I loved how surprised she was and how excited she was to see everyone as she went around the room hugging each person there!
I set up the porch for an indoor picnic since it rained all week long, until 3 hours before the party.
A make your own Sandwich station was set up showcasing some amazing bread and awesome fixings!
I was so excited some of her Sisters were able to make it and totally surprised her!
I love celebrating birthdays with friends too they add such a sweet dimension to birthday celebrations!
We had a make your own s'mores bar, again show casing an all American Summer tradition!
Her birthday cake was so delish! Made in town at Love Cakes by DLM ( a local grocer)
These beautiful peonies also came from Dorothy Lane Market.
I love how the cake looked with the sparklers instead of candles.
When I saw this porch I envisioned having people over and spending time out here! I am so excited that one of my first events was in honor of my mother in law! The rest are pictures of the sweet friends and family that came together to celebrate this beautiful woman because she means so much to all of us!
I could not have done it all without help! Josh, thank you for helping me and supporting my vision for this evening! Robin, thank you for listening to my heart from the very beginning as I began to think about this event! Thank you for coming early and staying late, so my kitchen could be completely clean before bed!
To all who gave of their time and brought sides, drink and food thank you! What a blessing it is to bless others!
