Last year Elizabeth and I decorated and table at the last minute and just thew something together but this year we got together and planned our awesome table! Elizabeth has been waiting for me to post this, so here it is! (by the way it is a woodland/berry theme.

Basically they were mostly my bird ornaments(I collect them), Lori’s awesome crystal vase and beautiful china and Elizabeth’s garland, nuts, berries and awesome ideas!

Also here are some of the other tables that we really liked. There was a Candy table, a Pink Princess table, a table with feathers, and one that Lori liked all the silver.

I got to do a photo shoot with the sweetest little boy last week! Baby V was just as happy as could be and did a great job. We only had one melt down…but those are always cute pictures to me. (Maybe because I am not the mom) He is a very curious lively little boy and we caught some awesome moments of him being a typical two year old. Here are some of my favs!
