Saturday was Jackson's sister's 22nd birthday. To celebrate, everybody came over to our house for lunch, cake, and thankfully some sunshine!! Here are some pics of everything all set up. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to take many of people but I think David (Jackson's dad) took care of that!!
Here is the dessert table in our kitchen.
Lisette made a wish on a red velvet cake from Olexa's. They have the most wonderful cake. This was my first time to try their red velvet and it was no exception!
Celebrating the season with jelly beans that my sweet visitors Rebecca and Hannah brought over. Ethan had his fair share while he was over.
The table complete with her candles.
I served our BBQ lunch off of my dining room table and everyone ate outside on the porch.
Here's a close up of the pulled pork. Jackson is making great use of his green egg!
We had BBQ sandwiches, chips, dip, slaw, potato salad, pasta salad, and green beans.
I put plates, forks, and napkins on the buffet along with some pictures of Lisette.

Signature drink: Sette's Sangria. Recipe below!
I made my outdoor breakers rack into a drink stand
Sette's Sangria
2 bottles Pinot Grigio
1/2 cup white rum
48oz Sprite
2 limes sliced into discs
2 lemons sliced into discs
2 jars drained maraschino cherries
2 pints fresh strawberries halfed
3 honeycrisp apples sliced (I used an apple slicer like this to make pretty slices)
Combine wine, rum, limes, lemons, cherries, strawberries, and apples in container and refrigerate overnight. Add Sprite right before serving and serve over ice.
I hope everybody had as much fun as I had putting everything together! Happy Birthday, Lisette!
