garden party

note: if we frolic in the same friendly/blogging circles then i apologize, because you've seen these pictures 10-12 times already. 
redundancy for memory's sake is always allowed, right?


Nicole & Bri and their families are off to Missouri for work, and what better way to remind us how sorely they will be missed then to throw a super excellent garden party?!
when i said goodbye to Bri she reminded me that I'll have another baby when they get back. whuutt...

while i try to wrap my head around that, 

feast your eyes on the details:

gourmet burgers

sweet potato fries

karpouzi salad

&

cocount bread for dessert! yes that one.

and the guests:
a couple people aren't pictured - but they are here!

the Hoilands & the Rosses

the Christensens

the Webbs // how much do you love their potted name cards slash parting gifts?!

the Oldhams

and here we are...

how amazing is this messy face?! 
a scrumptious composition of dirt, peanut butter sandwich, and running nose. cuuute.
