This past week my baby, okay, my oldest turned 10 years old! My gosh, where did the decade go? Of course, I broke down a couple times thinking how fast the decade went by and realizing that the next decade will probably go by even faster. Then, I will have a young 20 year old man! Bah bah bah. Not fair.
Well, regardless of my emotional state, it still calls for a family birthday dinner. He is officially out of the double digits, so no little kiddie looking table, he will have real plates, not paper, and silverware. (shhhh, I didn’t use my fine china or even my day to day silverware, you know, just in case) and with the crazy schedules I had to throw this tablescape together in a day! I know, not normal, I usually set things up a week earlier but Fall has been nuts.
This year, you know, since he is 10, he made the name place cards. He had to write a Thank you for each person that came, and one positive happy thought he had about that person. When they sat down and opened the card, it hopefully put a small smile on each of their faces. Of course we went around and everyone then read it aloud too. Below is more photos of this grown up kids Fall tablescape.
I kept the table in a Fall them as not to mess up the rest of my home Fall decor but added pops of his favorite colors, blue and green.
You know I can’t have a picture without my favorite auction house find, those faux bamboo dining chairs. Gosh I love you chairs.
You can’t have a party without cupcakes. There is this great new cupcake place in my hometown. Gigi’s cupcakes! SO delicious and better yet, they open at 8:00a.m!!! Perfect for moms.
In the picture below, you can see that I placed all the adults at the big table and then threw the 10 and under kids close by at a smaller table. Finally, they can all feed themselves.
