The Birthday Girls..... :)

That's my sweet mama and my baby girl Rio.

Rio was born on my mama's birthday:)

How cute is that!

 I decided to have a

little birthday lunch to celebrate these two crazy girls:)

 

I bought some hydrangeas and stuck them in jars wrapped in twine that I already had.

 



I covered my table with a simple white tablecloth, and topped it with this little

piece of green lace that I bought on one of the many trips to SAS with Rio.

I kinda bunched it up and let it lay all crinkly to give it a more relaxed look:)

 

My plates are two different patterns of Arte Italica. The wine glasses are Match.

All purchased when my sister had  (sniff sniff) this most fab store here in downtown Mesa.

Sister + store= WHOLESALE baby!!

The cute Eau Minerale glasses are from FOUND:)

 

 

My mom loves birds, so I just gathered a few that I had around the house

(like mama like daughter huh?)

and put them on the table with some wood ball thingies.

 

We feasted on roasted chicken, onion tart, green salad and

avocado and grapefruit salad.

Too bad I forgot to take a pic of the

fruit tart for dessert! It was so pretty:)

 



 

 

And here's where I yelled- WAIT!! I need a pic of all of us before

we dig in!!

Left to right- The birthday girl Rio, my sis Marlene, my niece Shea, Me,

my mama the birthday girl, my cousin Ruth, my sis Michele,

and my sis in law Allie:)

 

What a great time we had talking and laughing for.....

3 hours!!

 

I look at the faces in this pic and realize how completely blessed I am:)
