Elegant Autumnal Get-Together

Last weekend, my parents threw their first party in our new home. It was a lovely Fall get-together for my Dad's staff, and we also preformed a house blessing for our new lives here.



My mom and her friends created these lovely floral arrangements. They featured bright sunflowers, cranberry garlands, and aromatic rosemary that complemented the evening perfectly!




We set up two tables inside for the adults, and one outside on the back deck for the kids. 





The outdoor seating arrangement.






We served the food from the island.




My mom prepared a wonderful meal: Cranberry-Pecan salad, French Bread, and two types of Lasagna. 





The weather was perfect; sunny, cool, and ideal for enjoying a meal.


The beautiful house blessing started with the lighting of candles held by Jonathan and Matthew.


My favorite moment of the night was when we all prayed together in the fourier




Each Waters kid took turns reading Bible verses from the Lutheran Hymnal, it was overall a very special and memorable experience and a great way to initiate our new lives here. 

I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them on my new camera!

XOXO,
