{A BiRthDaY PaRtY}

My good friend Camille had a birthday today & what better way to celebrate than have a party!

I'll be honest, I have been looking forward to hosting this little get together for quite some time now. I am always looking at blogs & getting so many great ideas for parties, but never really executing any of them. So today was the day!

Strawberry Lemonade

This was one of my favorite ideas! Aren't they so cute & vintage looking?

All the yummy food
{funny story about the wild flowers pictured above: I was wanting to buy flowers, but they are just so dang expensive. I asked Doug if it were bad if after dark I went on a walk & just randomly collected flowers. I think at first he was confused that I was actually serious. After realizing that I wouldn't want our flowers taken I had to come up with something else. In the car on our way home we were driving under a freeway & I spotted some pink, yellow & white. I made Doug pull over on the side of the road & scurried to gather as much wild flowers as I could. Passerby's probably thought I was crazy, but I didn't care. I think they are beautiful!}

My version of a 'Nothing Bundt Cake'
It turned out perfect! I haven't had the best luck lately with frosting etc. But the recipe I used was spot on.

Me & Steph
I couldn't have pulled this together without her! I'm so thankful for good friends.

Thanks Camille for having a birthday & giving us a reason to celebrate!
Love you lots!
