10 Year Old Boy Birthday Tablescape

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. 

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.
