jen's party

The occasion:



Little baby Corynn's impending arrival. I can't wait to hold her in less than two weeks!

The menu:



strawberry-filled vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting
Kotter brownie bites
homemade oreos {chocolate w/ mint filling and strawberry w/ vanilla filling}
homemade cream puffs {by Carrie}
double chocolate brownie bites {by Kristy}
raspberry lemonade
assorted candy

{Should those have really taken me all day to bake? No, but they did. As often happens to us Stratton girls, I way over-planned the food and had a ton left over. Matt's co-workers benefitted from the overage.}

The turnout:
Awesome. There were probably about 30 people in my little house {filling up all the chairs in the living room, the hallway, the kitchen} - standing-room only.

The verdict:
Totally worth it. Jen needed a few hours that were all about her and the baby and I needed an excuse to clean my house.
