Celebrating A Couple of Birthdays

This weekend we celebrated two birthdays!  Alyssa and the Handsome Husband.  Due to circumstances beyond our control, we were not able to go to the White Party in San Diego, so we decided to have our own white party. Of course, since we were at home, I decided to mix in some gold on the tablescape.

Ugh, I hate seeing pics of myself. 

The birthday boy and girl.

We finally learned home to use the timer on the camera so we could get this family shot. 

I picked all the roses in my backyard!  Seriously, I'm lucky they were all in bloom so I didn't have to buy any flowers.

In my yard, I have Iceberg and Bolero roses.  I love the coolness of white in the garden in the summer time.  HH likes lots of color and I like the white.  I do have some color, but he wants me to add more.  Its like the Christmas lights on the tree, I like white; he likes color.  We alternate every year between white and color.
