Let the games begin!  It’s been mighty chilly this past few weeks in Connecticut…so we all could really use a dose of summer.  Go ahead and crank up the heat and take a look at Alex’s fun Fairfield County birthday bash from last summer!

Wonderfully planned by Alex’s family and Elizabeth Allen, the party started in the yard with some serious competition in an assortment of games including the classic egg and water balloon toss and a hula hoop contest, accompanied by a raw bar from Nantucket’s Spanky’s Clam Shack and a great spread of charcuterie.  The “piggy” theme was carried throughout, with team shirts and prizes…topped off by a hand-turned pig roast by Chef Jeremy Stanton’s Fire Roasted Catering.  We’ll be blogging later in the week on these fab foodies based in the Berkshires.

The party shifted gears later in the evening for dinner under the Stamford Tent–beautifully decked out in bold orangey red by LMD Lewis Miller Design–including more games like pinball and basketball arcade…along with lots of dancing.  A super summery birthday…thanks Alex and your family for having us photograph your party!  To see lots more photos click here…and think spring!
