Norah’s Rainbow Birthday Bash!

The Spread

My creative sister and her husband threw their baby, Norah, a rainbow themed 1st birthday. She went all out with the decorations, you’ll see below.. My contributions were the cake and some odds and ends. I must say it was colorful and delicious! Since Norah is the first baby in the family, her party was extra special, It was the cutest birthday ever!

Mom’s 60th Birthday

My loving mother was turning 60 so my siblings and I planned a Dessert and Wine party and her boyfriend threw her a surprise dinner. The weekend was filled with many birthday festivities which made her glow (as seen below).

My boss allowed me to make the pastries at work the day of so things worked out perfectly! My sister did the decorating including the old-time photo’s of my mother when she was younger.  They ranged from her teens to motherhood. The goal was happiness and I’m pretty sure we were successful 🙂

Surprised and happy 🙂
