| Welcome to the party!!! |
After Violet's baptism last weekend we hosted a little "Violet themed" soirée at our house. It was a sweet, grand old time with all our loved ones present, and a wonderful celebration of our blessing that is Violet.
I wanted to share some of the pictures I did get of the party in honor of Miss. V.
 |
| Miss. V with her momma {moi}. |
 |
| All the violet colored goodies. |
 |
| Of course, Violet flavored mints. {Acquired taste required.} |
 |
| Me & V. |
 |
| Violet glassware {World Market}. |
 |
| Violet colored taffy {Sunflower Market}, chalkboard tags {$1/ea at Michael's!} |
 |
Yogurt covered pretzels. And purple violet Peeps! |
 |
| Yellow cupcakes with buttercream {violet, of course} frosting. |
 |
| French macarons. NOT from Ladurée, but my own failed attempt. |
 |
| Cake balls! AKA Cake Pops, sans stick. |
 |
| Chicken salad on croissants in bakers bags from Etsy. |
 |
| Peeps & pretzels, served in cupcake wrappers. |
 |
I loved how all the shades of purple violet mixed together. |
 |
| That's my V-Pie! |
 |
| These technically were "flops" but still tasted good. Nutella/marshmallow filling! |
 |
| Chocolate cross pops. |
 |
| Forgot to put those out until half way through the party... |
 |
| Justin's family enjoying their treats. |
 |
| Grandma {Mom} enjoying her treat. |
 |
| Soapmaker/Grandma Erickson made the favors, violet scented soaps. |
 |
| Perfect for a baptism party! |
 |
| Great Grandma Sander, Moriah, Violet, & Grandma Sander. |
 |
| Ruffle cake: we love you, not just for your good looks but also what's on the inside. |
 |
| Learning to use the new Nikon on some of the pretty treats... |
 |
| After guests left, I had a lot of fun photographing these... |
 |
| I call this one, The Lonely Cake Ball. |
 |
| Ruffle cake makes for a great subject. |
 |
| Tempting, isn't it? |
 |
| Who doesn't love a Violet cupcake? I love my Violet cupcake! All 10 lbs of her.. |
 |
| Most guests took home a plate of treats! |
 |
| Love, Your Hostess |

It was FABULOUS, H! I never cease to be amazed at your creativity! You really seem to be blessed with the "gift of hospitality"! (Is this really *my child*???)
