timmy’s communion- the party (aka the communitzvah)

We ended up with a fabulous day (thank god) with tons of family and friends with amazing food, gorgeous decor and a happy communitzvah boy. The party theme was vintage baseball. What else would it be?

The lighting was kinda horrible to work with, but since they’re my own pictures and not a clients (and I was not busting out the lighting) it went into the category of it is what it is. The amazing “focal table”, all designed and implemented by the fantastic Jenn Evans from Jennifer Evans Events. The food was beyond delicious (especially the appetizers- always my favorite!) and the service was outstanding, all provided by the amazing Fran Klier. Not only a fantastic chef, but a good friend and Royals family member. Centerpieces. My favorite!Vintage straws and coke bottles. The drink table welcoming guests as they arrived.The focal candy table in parts… Including Mommy’s Marshmallows. Jenn wanted to do a special signature cocktail for the party. This is what we agreed on. Baseball card graham cracker cookies and baseball cake pops. Amazing cake (with three different layers- all different flavors) by The Cake Don.
“Forked” baseball iced oreos (stuck on a little tiny fork). Some games for the kids.Baseball wreath from baby toes on Etsy. And potted flowers from my friend Heidi. Which I’m happy to report I haven’t yet killed. Give it a few more weeks though.Under the baseball big top. Me and my girlies. Jen & Sharon. Timmy and his besties. Liam & Jack.My photografriend Shira who left her family party to come over for a few minutes to take some pictures so I could be in some. Tricia and two of her three girls. John and his crew. Ray, George, Nelson & Jim. Me and Maureen all the way from Michigan. Jack & Timmy.Do not even ask me, cause I don’t know. Karen, all three of my boys baby nurse. She used to be able to hold them both at once. And lived in my house for a total of 4 weeks. I still love her so.
Any guesses who?Timmy and his godmother. As you can see I didn’t go crazy with the camera/picture taking during the course of the day. Was trying to be in the moment and enjoying the day as much as I could. It was a nice change of pace for me!
