When life gives you lemons.. have a party


I've got a confession to make.
Brace yourselves;
you're about to say I'm totally nuts... again.
I've been planing Giada's first birthday party for about, um, let's see, she's about 5 months now, so 5 months.
There. I said it.
Now it's out of my system.
Second confession I've got is that I've always wanted a summer wedding AND a summer baby.
The wedding part I could control.
The baby part?
Well, not so much, considering that she was born in the dead of winter, aka December.
But if I can't bring Giada's birthday to summer,
I'll be darned if I won't bring summer to her party.
And what says summer like a cold glass of lemonade?
Nothing else, that's what.

{some from here and here}

Here are some gems I've been collecting for the last 5 months from all over the web.
And honest to goodness if I know where every single one of them came from.
{Head hung in shame}

How fun would it be to have all those pretty, yummy "guests" at my lemonade party?
It's going to happen, too.
Just wait and see.
Unless, I change my mind.
Which I'm famous for.
After all, it's still 7 months away.
Let's hope that I won't, because look how beautiful and delicious everything looks!!!


Now stop drooling, sink your teeth in a big peace of cake and wash it all down with a big class of freshly made lemonade.
After that, have yourself a great Thursday.
I mean it!

cute! that is so funny you say that. Andrew has a BIG birthday this December, but I am throwing a surprise party in Sept. so we can have it at our beach house. THEN, Anika was born in March, but I am going to have her party in June when she turns 1 :) My gram's bday is in Jan, and she always through herself parties in the summer because she hated the winter. I am taking her lead :)
