A Spring Floral Baby Shower

Hi friends!  Happy New Year!  Happy Spring!  :)  Long time no see... I realize the last time I posted was at Christmas!  Gadzooks!!

Well, I'm back with a fun party post today and hopefully I will be around more often with some house and garden and life updates on our little family! :)

My sister Hannah is expecting a baby at the end of June, and this time she's having a girl! So my mom and I had to throw her a fun, pink, girly baby shower to celebrate!

We decided to do pink and peach floral for the theme.  I designed the invitation with peach and floral graphics:

We decorated with lots of pink pom poms, paper fans, and paper flowers.

Mama made a lovely brunch menu with ham biscuits, sausage balls, deviled eggs, fruit, hashbrown casserole, pasta salad, and I made cupcakes for dessert!

After we ate, Hannah opened gifts from our guests.  We all had a lovely time enjoying the kids and visiting with family.  

Congratulations Hannah and Josh!  I can't wait to meet the new little one in June! :)

Silent Night

I just put the baby to bed... and minutes later she's asleep.  All is calm.

The lights are glowing in the house and outside, too.  All is bright.

It's my favorite time of night.  Time to sneak away and have a cup of cocoa and do a little last minute Christmas knitting...

Time to reflect on the season of giving and hope.  Time to plan for a bright New Year 2017.

Until next time, Merry Christmas, from the Horvaths.

Christmas at the Horvaths'

Greetings from the land of motherhood! As it turns out, it's tough to balance motherhood and bloggerhood (not to mention housework, hobbies and a social life!).  I'm sure you parents out there are laughing right now!  Our little Georgia girl is 6 months old!  I spend most of my days taking care of her and playing with her.  She's a happy girl, always smiling and entertaining us with her cute mannerisms and budding personality!  She just learned to roll over and is working on sitting up.  Next  up will be crawling and then I'll really be in trouble!!  Despite all these (sometimes overwhelming) responsibilities that come with being a mom, I could not let the holiday season pass by without a Christmas post!  As you know, I love Christmas and I love decorating my house for the holidays!  So, I took a little time this year to spruce the place up.  Here's a look at our decor:

This year I added a spiral of plaid ribbon to the tree.  The ribbon is from Michael's and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it for my tree! :)  It's pleated so it twists nicely as you twine it among the branches.  It's perfect!

In lieu of my formal table setting, this year I opted to do a woodland theme centerpiece. The little bottle-brush forest animals are ornaments!  It goes perfectly with my pinecone trees.

I added this beautiful berry garland to the top of the cabinets.  It's lovely!

I sprinkled my nutcracker collection around the house this year.  I love the new one that has a countdown to Christmas!  Only 7 days to go! :)

Well, that wraps up the inside tour.  Hopefully I'll get a chance to snap some pictures of the front of the house this week.  It's all decked out with lights and garland! :)

Hope you are having a lovely weekend!  If you need me, I'll be hanging out with this little cutie...

Happy Holidays Friends!
