A happy occasion....

Me, DD and TraderVic
Last weekend we had my DD's 21st birthday party at our home.  We had around a 100 guests.  A lot of planning went into it and I am pleased to say that it was a really happy occasion.  Here are a few pics which I would like to share with you:

The flowers, all ready to place around the house.

The cake: a croquembouche, filled with chocolate and vanilla custard - it was a great hit.

I hope that you have enjoyed the party.

Looks like you put a lot of time in your daughter 21st birthday. My youngest son turn 21 last April.
Hope you find the time to stop over at my blog and the coffee is on.
