real parties: backyard bbq

My husband and I recently finished some work on our little yard and decided to have a BBQ on Saturday to celebrate. (Believe it or not, that grass used to be nothing more than a dirt patch). We planned a simple menu of burgers, dogs and grilled corn, and our friends helped out with a delicious spread of side dishes and desserts. As you can see, we kept it casual and had some fun by adding just a few simple details... all in all a lovely way to spend a summer afternoon. How was your weekend?
