graduation!!

What a fun time we had getting ready for Emma's High School graduation party (literally months of thinking about it), making items and decorating the day of!

I think it was a big success! Vintage Tea Party Style. You sissy, did a fabby job of making your yard and house look perfect. Granjan, your touches of food and decor were exquisite! Emma looked beautiful and so happy!!

Here are pictures of my favorites from the party.....

The Dessert Table 

Little touches everywhere

Target lanterns, $3.50 each

Great idea sissy! She is now officially a  "Bulldog", so how appropriate are these for the table!

My new invention...mini s'mores! Dip marshmallows in melted chocolate and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs. These were a hit! The adults and kids ate them all!

Petit fours, Emma's favorite tea party cookies and donuts and chocolate dipped marshmallows on a stick!

Handmade signs for each dish, made with skewers and paper

Jars of candy and gumballs

Chocolate dipped strawberries and pictures of Emma when she was little

Yum Yum Brownies!

It's really happening!

almost forgot...

those two idiots you posted...dumb and dumber...not fighting, just saying!  famous for N O T H I N G.  i couldn't care any less about either of them and i refuse to learn their names!  bring  it!  h.

love door, Lils and risotto

YES to the green door - LOVE it and it's perfect for when we re-do the outside...perfect color! 
YAY that Lils had the best 11th b-day - can't wait to see the pics.  She is a blessing.  Like we always say, our family needed her to "complete" us!

Now, onto risotto....I need to get to the grocery...didn't have breakfast yet and it's almost lunchtime so I made this while we were chatting....SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!  Trader Joe's hits a home run again with Butternut Squash Risotto in the freezer section (found it at the bottom of my freezer).

Thanks for talking...Aunt Flicka dying and the trials of teenagers...count our blessings.  All we want is their happiness.  xoxo, Heidi
