Backyard Birthday Party

We hosted a little backyard birthday party for my mother in law.  It was a perfect sunny evening {considering the rain the day before}, so we lucked out and enjoyed an evening outdoors.

I put out my collection of bright mismatched plastic serving and dinner pieces that I have been collecting…

I made our favorite ice cream cake…using a gluten free cake mix {by Betty Crocker} for my MIL…and it was just as good!

Yummy treats on beautiful plates…I really love our white plates that we use everyday but I am finding for celebrations, it is fun to dress up the table with my mismatched plates.  It adds color and character and plus I love that I can fall in love with each individual plate creating a unique collection.

As the sun came down, we enjoyed our cake, mood lighting, and a round of scattergories…
