Our daughter and her husband are expecting a new addition at the end of the month. Today, her wonderful friend Elizabeth hosted a "Baby Sprinkle" for her. Apparently, first babies are welcomed with a baby shower and subsequent infants are celebrated with a Sprinkle. Smaller gifts since baby number one already received a car seat, stroller, and all those biggish things that babies require. We had the party here because we had more room to spread out. Almost forty people came to celebrate the impending birth.
Liz and her husband created the most gorgeous charcuterie board.
Since the baby is due during the Yule season, the expectant parents have dubbed the baby "Yule," while they wait to meet him or her. Knowing this, Liz ordered a cake from an amazing local baker shaped like a Yule log for the party. It was not only gorgeous, it was incredibly delicious. The largest piece was black forest cake, and the smaller front pieces were tiramisu. Everything on the cake was edible: candied rosemary and merengue mushrooms... every bit of it a treat.
We had lots of other delicious munchies, too. Hot and cold dips, hot wings, deviled eggs, a make your own sandwich board. Everyone helped themselves, chatting and snacking and having a good time.
Many little kids were present, and they all went out and met the goats and chickens. The goats were wearing festive holiday ruffles and welcomed the company.
