What an amazing weekend!
Friday night we headed to my parent’s house so we would be there bright and early on Saturday to kick off my mom’s special birthday festivities.
My parents were at a special dinner with some friends so Hubby and I enjoyed a night out on the town together with delicious wine and appetizers, including this AMAZING escargot. So good that I had to get a picture of it. Mmmmm. Oh food, how I love you.
Saturday: My mom’s Surprise Six-“Tea” Party!
She was SO surprised. Eleven of us gathered at an adorable English tea house where we welcomed my mom with huge smiles, big hugs, TONS of sweet goodies and an afternoon showering her with all of the birthday goodness she SO deserves. What fun! The menu included: several delicious tea flavors, gourmet tea sandwiches, fresh scones, petit fours, pastries and chocolate cake with raspberry ganache – we left SO FULL. Full of tasty treats, stories, memories, laughter and LOVE. A room of people celebrating my mom and their love for her – it was truly such a SWEET experience. My heart is full of precious memories!
Turning the corner and seeing ALL of us there waiting for her.
She was so surprised! Here are a few pictures to share…
Four generations. My grandma is 91 years old!
(My sister Delaney and my other niece are missing from this picture, but they were there in spirit. We missed you guys!)
And as if the weekend weren’t magical enough…
We had the season’s first snowfall! Every year, like magic, it snows on my mom’s birthday. It was BEAUTIFUL!
Tucker’s first snow! It was SO cute to watch him.
Sunday we did some Christmas shopping and then headed home to a frosted neighborhood.
Christmas is on its way!
What a WONDERFUL weekend. I hope yours was full of sweet memories too!
Blessings/XOXO
