It was a very hot day, but the set-up in their backyard was lovely and it seemed as though the guests all had a good time. We kept things very low-key, which was nice, and focused on "keepsake" activities. For example, there were birthday cards for Lina's next 18 years and each guest filled one out. In a very cute move, Lenore filled out Lina's 16th birthday card as though it was coming from Elijah — love it!
We also had each guest decorate one or two fabric squares (pictures, words, etc.) that later we'll be able to assemble into a quilt for her.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the camera near by the whole afternoon, so our pics are limited, but you get a small flavor.

Also, this was the unveiling of Lina's shower gifts that I've been working on. I posted the first, an empire waist top, a while ago. Here is the little dress. The picture isn't great, but I think it will look cute on her once she grows into it.
