Sunday Snapshots: Triple Birthday Party 2012

When three generations of women 

celebrate birthdays within a span of eleven days

they decide to get together and

share

the cake and the attention and the laughs and the food

and have one big party!  

Today was the day! 

This year's theme was cupcakes.  

(We are three women who love a theme!)

I totally copied Vee's jar of zinnias, mint, and rosemary!  

(Thank you for the inspiration for our party table, Vee!) 

We had a delicious salad lunch...

chicken salad, a colorful tossed salad, Caesar pasta salad,

mixed fruit salad with custard sauce, Caprese salad.

(I'm afraid we're not going to get skinny eating all these yummy salads!)

We visited and gave gifts and watched darling baby Isabel walk.

And, of course, we talked.  Quite a bit.

And laughed.  Oh indeed we did!  

(In fact, I got permission to tell you one of the funny stories. 

I'll tell you about it later this week.  I think you'll laugh too.)

Here are the birthday girls!

We only had to blow out 24 candles between us.

If we had each had a candle for every year, we would have had

157 candles!

(But we didn't want to set off the smoke alarm.  Yikes!)

And thus ends the crazy August Birthday Season.
