This past weekend we celebrated 6 years of marriage, my first Mother's Day, and the blessed event of Isaiah's baptism.
It was a weekend to remember, to say the least.
I had a wonderful time planning the celebration lunch at our home - but all fun party details aside, my favorite part of the day was the quiet time I got to spend with my son. It was so meaningful to celebrate him with good friends and family.
A special thank you to Isaiah's lovely Godfamily (a new term we've coined). We are so thankful for your friendship. You are such a wonderful example to to us, and those around you.
Isaiah you are a very special child, and so loved. So many people prayed for you, for which your Mommy and Daddy are very thankful. God has given you lots of angels - all of which were so delighted to celebrate your baptism.
Here are a few pics from the day...
Easy to make wreaths and mini-pennant banners, all made with ribbon and paper.
Wishes for baby: a sign-in page for guests to leave a note for Isaiah William...
I made simple flower arrangements for every mother who was there. For the cards, I asked their children to send me "words they would use to describe their mother." The results were so sweet...
Cookie favors for every guest...
"Ginger lemonades"= fizzy lemonade with a twist.
Lemonade cupcakes with cream cheese frosting...
And of course, the guest of honor. We are so proud of you, baby Isaiah.

Mix together in a large pitcher - ENJOY!
LOVED your decorations!:)
Congratulations on Isaiah's baptism!
Your party decorations are amazing, they could totally be posted on the site I blogged about yesterday, Kara's Party Ideas. Where did you find all the fun stuff, like the striped straws etc.?
Thanks guys! Maria, I found the straws and cupcake liners on Etsy, everything else I made from paper and ribbon I've been collecting... I did the color scheme around my favorite vintage napkins that I already owned. ;)
Congratulations on sweet Isaiah's baptism. We were so glad to be at church on Sunday and see such a special event. We are looking forward to Reid's baptism in June :) Love reading your blog and your party planning skills are AMAZING!!! Take care.

What great decor! I absolutely love the ice bin. Would you mind sharing where you got it?
Thanks, Abbie! I actually found the ice bin at Target.
Congrats, everything is beautiful!!
LOVED, loved the sign-in page for guests to leave a note for Isaiah. Would you mind sharing where did you get it/how you did it? I would love to do that for my son. Thank you! :)
Sure, Anali (beautiful name, by the way!).
I actually just made it myself. I chose a sheet of scrapbook paper, and then got creative with the handwriting at the top (with a pencil first, then outlining it with a fine point pen). It was so fun to "break the rules" with my usual handwriting.
I hope you make one! We treasure the precious notes we have on ours...
Thank you so much! You're so talented, I will try to do this, although I'm sure it won't be quite as beautiful :D
