a weekend in the salty ham...

...or birmingham for those who are not fluent in "james." and that is where we went this weekend- to celebrate James's 30th birthday. It was a great weekend, full of an incredible amount of laughing, delicious food, and awesome company. I really could not ask for a better brother and sister-in-law. They are awesome. Steph inspires me to be a better cook, sewer, and wife while James is just my great brother who, although I could not possibly begin to count the number of times he said to me "you are so weird" this whole weekend, is one of my closest friends.
here are some of the highlights from the birthday party-


beautiful backyard


beautiful front yard


steph doing some prep work


beer


sausage (it was a beer and sausage party)


beautiful table (steph- too bad you did not dress up to match your tablescape)


birthday kids


so excited for Uncle James's birthday


party favors

and from the rest of the weekend-


fun with aunt steph


trick or treating (we borrowed a stroller from friends of theirs who only have girls)


happy family
