The community where I grew up is pretty amazing. There is a big group of friends, who met through their kids, and they have impromptu get-togethers every once in a while. Now that the kids are grown up for the most part, it is always so exciting when everyone is home, and the parents and kids hang out together. Brian and I came back late from his family’s house, so when we got to my house I felt like we just walked in to this big, happy family gathering. Hugs and kisses and “how’s married life?”s. I feel so lucky to have this group of people in my life who have known me forever.
It doesn’t hurt that my mom is an amazing hostess and puts together a pretty awesome (and beautiful, might I add) spread of food. Complete with candles and wine, I think you’ve got a recipe for the perfect evening.
Hope your weekend is full of cozy get-togethers!
Loved these series of photos! They were so warm and inviting, which matched the actual feeling of being there perfectly. The first three looked like they belonged in a Crate and Barrel catalog.
Aww, thanks Kirsten! Gotta give some credit to my mom though, she has great taste!
What a incredibly warm and inviting atmosphere! Oh, I wish we Norwegians were better at gathering together more often. Maybe when I’m out of my tiny apartment (and a real grown up) I can arrange something like this. Thank you for sharing! Simply lovely!
Thanks Halina! :)
I love the second to last picture. The guy in the background looks like he’s up to no good. Looks like an amazing party and the pictures are just beautiful.
Thanks! That is my brother and his girlfriend, and one of my brother’s best friends. Knowing him, he probably was up to no good :)
