Spring has sprung, summer has sizzled, and fall is in full swing- time is really flying isn't it? I would like to think that I am kind of getting used to my new title of mommy. I have to admit, it is one of my new favorites. Jeff likes to joke that I wear way too many hats: wife, mommy, landman, photographer...etc etc. I am really enjoying life - don't get me wrong, there are moments that I want to pull my hair out but aren't those moments the ones that help you realize how great the good moments are?
One really fun recent moment was that of Emma's first annual fall party! All of us new moms seem to get so excited about these little babies dressing up as funny creatures, or at least I was that mom. Only to realize my daughter prefers to fall asleep by 7:30pm... which eliminates much trick-or-treating if you ask me. So.... after hearing that one of my cousins has a party for mommies and kids I decided to start the same tradition for my kiddos! I was so excited to have a few friends and their babies over and I have to admit I had a lot of fun both preparing and entertaining. Here are a few pics of the occasion I fondly called: Emma's Fall Party.
I was pleased with how the table turned out! I found the candy corn poms at Hobby Lobby on sale and my mom brought the flowers which totally completed the look.
I "might" have spent some time on Pinterest before the party... all budget friendly & had a lot of fun!
Since all the babies were young we had a "scene" set up in the front yard that the babies and moms got their pictures taken in front of... their "party favor" was a fall frame to fill!
This is Emma with the fall backdrop!
Another project used to decorate with... that's Emma's hand print and fists as the pumpkin! LOVE!
And this was the whole crew with their babes...
Until next fall!
