A family affair

Yesterday was my mother in law's 60th birthday and her one request was an intimate gathering of our 2 families.
We decided to throw her an elaborate brunch, including mimosas, fresh lox, mini panini and decadent chocolate birthday cake. I started planning early last week and created a detailed menu since I knew it was going to be a busy weekend.
It was a really beautiful morning and even better was getting our families together in our home.

    Thanks for your comments everyone!

    The inside out heart tea cups are made by Yedi House. I found them on Gilt Groupe a few months ago and I love them! They are so much fun and my guests always get a kick out using them.
