Scenes from a Party

Today I christened my house with its first party. I invited some of my woman friends over in celebration of being a Woman! I like being a woman so why not celebrate it! The party was a huge success and if I don't say so myself without bragging too much the food was excellent. I actually forgot to take photos while everyone was here. Silly me, so these are scenes from afterward. On today's menu was, Jerusalem Cucumber Salad, Shrimp Orzo Pasta, Fruit Salad, Bacon, Cheddar, and Spinach Quiche, Strawberry Lemonade, Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting, and Hummingbird Cake. Yummy! The weather was perfect for sitting on my deck almost a little too hot, but this didn't stop us from having a good time. Here is to the next party in two weeks-my sons birthday party.  He postponed his party in February so that he could have a swim birthday party in May.  I can't wait for the many parties around the corner.  Let the festivities begin!
post edit note:  Sorry to lazy to link all the recipes, but I will tell you where I found them. Cucumber salad from Smitten Kitchen, Cake from Joy of Baking.com. Cupcakes found on Martha Stewart.com cupcake series, Shrimp Orzo salad from Food Network, and well the Quiche is a creation of my mom's she has been making them forever so I don't know where the recipe comes from.  Hope this helps!  Hugs!
