Party, party, party...

...party!  For my brother and sister-in-law this past weekend.  They got married this past September in Michigan.  It was a smaller wedding and didn't include all of my parents friends.  So their friends graciously threw them a party to celebrate their nuptials.

We had a good turn out of about 60 people including some members of my mom's family, dad's family, and friends that feel like family.  The food was divine!  Including frogmore stew, pepperoni rolls, sausage pinwheels, dips, the best artichoke dip ever, ham biscuits, homemade red velvet cake to die for, and lemon squares.  Toss in cold beer and red wine -- I was stuffed and my thirst quenched.  Thankfully some folks took pictures:

The guests of honor, Nathan and Shannon:
 Mom with her two sisters, Beth and Linda.  Can you guess which one is a sister by blood?
Mom and her brother-in-law, Uncle Matt.


Mom with all of the female party hosts.  So glad they threw this party!
 Being silly with Granddaddy.
 The Herring clan.
Towards the end of the night when most have gone home, that is the time to bust out the karaoke machine and get your dance on!


Courtney and Beth.


Granddaddy, (one of) dad's sister, Aunt Dean, and dad.



The whole gang.  Including the massive serving piece they used for the frogmore stew!  Sans Courtney, taking the pic.


It can't be a bad party when you put a basket on your head!

  1. Looking for a similar private party on my cousin's birthday. Weekend treat on my sister in law's birthday was full of fun and entertainment. Best were the Mexican dishes and pasta treats. Table management at LA venues was praiseworthy. Servings were timely and I liked the concept of tissues as well as table cloths.
