We celebrated Mother’s Day and Violet’s 5th birthday yesterday. The temperature was near 90, unseasonably warm and beautiful.
Violet loves plants and flowers so I decided to throw her a little garden party complete with lace gloves and fancy hats. We bought flowers, but with the distraction of a new baby we forgot them in the car and all but one withered. We planted lavender seeds in the pots instead for the guests to take home and tend to themselves.

We had a potluck barbecue here to celebrate Mother’s Day. We spent the day holding Jessie and planning Rachael’s wedding. We narrowed the guest list down to 200 (which is about 50 more than I was planning!) and walked around Windy Ridge trying to decide where to do what. With our narrow lawns we decided this shall be a unconventional ceremony.
This bright and sunny Monday morning I am back in the office with my babies, bedhead & leftover birthday cake.
Happy Violet Mother’s Day!! : )

Wow! What a fun party and day you had. Happy birthday to the birthday girl! Glad you had a fun Mother’s Day!

Very elegant garden party, the girls look so pretty and happy in there lace gloves and beautiful elegant hats, I wanted a little girl and had 3 boys, so when we design the hats, it would be for my little princess, it made me so happy when I seen these pictures, thank you so much for shareing them with me, and your baby is so adorable.
