Rose Brunch

Kylie and I went to brunch this morning.  We were celebrating Charlotte Rose's first birthday and my friend Alisha hosted.  Charlotte is not her daughter, but she likes having a good reason to throw a party, which is great because she is obviously very good at throwing parties.  The brunch she hosted a few weeks ago for her daughter, Violet, was equally impressive.

Normally I keep things simple when it comes to Kylie's hair because she wiggles too much to do that much to it, but in an effort to dress up for the brunch we somehow made it work. I wanted to show off her cute curls that are hidden under her longer, straighter hair on top.  Seeing those sweet natural waves and the occasional ringlet makes me smile.

We walked to Alisha and Violet's house and enjoyed the warm sunshine and blue sky.  

  The table was stunning in typical Alisha fashion.  Beautiful.

(I tried my hand at editing this photo in photoshop.  I am new to that world, but I think it turned out quite lovely).

 There were flowers everywhere! It smelled so good.

Each baby even had their own place setting with real miniature baby silverware and goblets.

The babies also had special presents waiting for them at their place setting. Homemade bibs! Quite useful and lovely.

 Kylie looking ever so dainty - pinky lifted and all - in her new homemade bib while sipping from her miniature goblet.

 Baby Graham was very noble and quite handsome in his onsie and boutonniere.

  

Our hostess, Violet, looking very regal in her new bib.

The girls had tiny corsages for their wrists, but they only lasted about 15 seconds before the babies ripped them off.  I wasn't quick enough with the camera and this blurry picture is the only one I got.  

Regretfully I failed to get good picture of the baby of honor, but rest assured she looked smashing in her pearl bib.

We had a great time at brunch and so enjoyed the chilled rose and strawberry soup, the dainty sandwiches, salad, baked okra, and strawberry rose cake.  The company was just as nice.  Thanks Alisha!
