During the final warm days of summer Skylar hosted a 1950's style yard party in celebration of Josh turning 26! Our mother, Cindy's, back yard is perfect for hosting a get together and a rousing game of croquet.
Staying true to the theme of the party everyone dressed in their best interpretation of the 50's. The winners of the evening were Cindy and Jake.
Of course the cocktail ice was clinking and Skylar's menu had a little something for everyone.

The cocktail menu included traditional cocktails like a whiskey sour, gimlet, and gin martini. One of the favorites was the Hemingway daiquiri. We used a simple syrup instead of superfine sugar and Newman's Own lime aide. Who has time to juice tons of limes?!

The menu consisted of chicks in blankets, spinach dip, deviled eggs, and a variety of grilled kabobs including shrimp, beef, and spicy chicken. Oh, and a jello mold! Rice crispy treats were served for dessert.

What is a yard party without yard games? We may not have played by the rules but it was a lot of fun!
Thanks to Skylar and Cindy for all of their hard work! What a great way to spend a Saturday evening.
