A Grown-Up Party

Amy turned 30 last week (finally!), so we celebrated in style by throwing her a fancy-dinner-surprise party last Saturday night. Mmm, it was so perfect--weather was delightful (as opposed to the heat dome we're living under now), the table looked just as I imagined it should, the yard looked just right, the food was delicious, and Amy, of course, was the belle of the ball.


Our menu included:

• Grilled-peach pork loin
• Mint-sugared fruit salad
• Rosemary roasted potatoes
• Green beans with cherry tomatoes
• Tomato and peach salad
• Broccoli salad
• Rolls
• Mint iced tea
• White cake with peach buttercream frosting
  

So delish.




All the girls pitched in to the point where I felt like I had the lightest load to carry. Jason and I basically set up the lights (memories of wedding time!) and watched it all come together!




Being in our thirties is surprisingly nice, and it seemed appropriate to celebrate Amy's milestone with a grown-up, fancy dinner--with her grown-up, fancy friends. :)
