Easter










I have seen different families create a wide variety of Easter tables from very elegant brunches to kid centered fun. These pictures come from the year I decided to make an Easter dessert table for the children. Dinner was served outside where the hunt took place. Children came inside to find all the treats we couldn't hide in the eggs. Since this year I have certainly did many elegant tables. However, I enjoyed making all the sweets too. My favorite was the jelly bean napkin rings.

Tropical dinner party
















Cupcakes By Ali
Having a birthday in one of the coldest months in the south didn't stop me from having a birthday dinner with tropical flair. My inspiration came from a vinyl tablecloth I found on clearance at Ross.(3.99) I took flowers and tied them to small branches for my centerpiece in a white vase. Super cheap flower buds in small glass vase accented the table, along with candles. I love assigned seating so each guest had a umbrella with their name attached stuck in a lime. The signature drink was lime margaritas. For dinner we had chicken fajitas. My good friend Ali made chocolate cupcakes with a pink 26 on them for the birthday girls age. This was super cheap and I hardly bought any decor. Ahhh another birthday gone by.
