3rd annual summer picnic

sarah and i hosted our 3rd annual summer picnic a few weekends back.
a time to get together with friends, enjoy good food and conversation, relax into the summer night and take it all in before summer is over! and boy has summer just flown by this year! we did it potluck style so we had a great variety of food and dessert!
everyone had a great time!:)

here's a look around...


 i forgot to take a pic of all the desserts..oops! pies, cheesecake cupcakes, cookies, etc!

 buffet table
 i was so excited when i found these watermelon plates and napkins!
 sarah made the cute bowl stand.
and i made a variety of different vases out of mason jars and cans to accent the party.

here's what this table looked like later that afternoon.
just a little food.;) now that's what i call a bbq haha!
 
i made this little garland out of fabric, burlap and ribbon.








 and i knew i had to do something with red burlap!;)

 i attempted a balloon wreath...


 coke in the bottles taste so much better, agreed?

 the cake from 'nothing bundt cakes'
 we made chicken and steak kabobs...and bobby was so nice to bbq those right up for us ;)
 they were so yummy!
 we paired it with bread, rice, fruit and salad.

 the kids had fun playing and blowing bubbles...
 and we ended the night with s'mores...
 the kids had so much fun roasting their marshmallows.
