Baptism review
None of our flowers seemed to want to bloom so I went a simple hydrangea centerpiece route. We had 2 tables n the screened in porch and one in the adjoining dining room.
Food for baptisms is hard logistically. So I went the caterer route. Best decision ever! I told her we'd probably be home at 12:45 and wany to eat around 1. We pulled in at 1245 and I freaked that the caterer wasn't there. She'd been and gone and left piping hot food in her wake- bacon wrapped chicken, parsley potatoes, vegetable medley, fruit salad, tossed salad, rolls. I failed at the presentation. I could have at least taken the boxes out from under right? Oh well. It tasted great and cost peanuts.
And gratuitous pics of my kids
Re: Baptism review
Great to hear it went well! The food looks delicious. You've got a gorgeous back yard!
And cute bonnet

Thanks. There won't be anymore baptisms, but I really need to step up the presentation game for the next party...a THIRD birthday bash.
Here's a better pic of that corner of the yard. We've worked really hard on it and I love to here people like it. I need to get some pics of the front sometime too.
Lovely! I'd like to come hang out on your porch!
Yardwork slays me. I do it because I'm OCD about having the prettiest house on the street, but I hate it with a passion. My current screen porch is really too small, but ya work with what you're given.
Wait...is that a waterfall in the corner?! No way. Our last house (now a rental) has an acre yard that could look like yours...if it didn't want to descend into primordial jungle every time you turn around. I can't imagine how wild the yard will be when we move back there after 5-10 years of renters...kill me now. Maybe I'll get a fabulously well paying job after graduation and I can just drop $40k on some contractor and tell him to make it nice and to give me a waterfall over there somewhere. HA!

Your kids are so cute and damn, that's a nice backyard retreat you have!
I think you totally did the right thing having it catered--I don't know any mom who was super stressed trying to DIY a baptism reception.
Seems like you had a great party!
