HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

For a birthday Present Mom & Dad King gave me a new table! But the tough choice was picking it out. It was SO hard! So while I was trying to figure things out, we didn't have a table. We hit our heads on the light... and our plant needed some sun, so we killed two birds with one stone here. We used our couches and cofee table to eat... Here is the table. I love it. It is counter height and has a cool top with little rivet things. The legs are bomb-dig thick and the chairs have a nice cushion on them. It was my favorite table from any place we looked (and we looked at a lot). It had all my favorite things. I like the top with the rivets, the legs are thick so the table doesn't wobble when you push it sideways, I love the color of the wood, its square... I could probably keep going. But pretty much I love it. (doiley hand made by Granny)
This is the table with the leaf folded in. We'll probably keep it small unless we have a bunch of people over. Jill gave me that center peice! So while we were at the furniture store to pick up a diferent table than this one... I wanted to look at this one first. I had seen it before, and LOVED it, but the other table was a lot less expensive. Chris let me stand looking at the tables for a really long time. Even the salesman gave up on me... standing in the middle of all the tables holding my hands, looking around helplessly. He called out to see if I needed any help a few times, and laughed really hard when I said I was doing okay. I don't think I sounded convincing.

Chris knew that this one was my favorite. He walked over while I was standing in pain, looked over and said "I'm convinced". I was so excited I actually almost cried. We took it home and our neighbor helped Chris carry it up (I was afraid I'd drop it).

This is the table with the leaf folded out. Chris unfolded it just so we could take pictures! It still fits just fine folded out, but it is a little tight. But it will be perfect for games. We were excited to get one with a leaf so that it will last us a really long time. THANK YOU MOM & DAD!
This my birthday present from Jenise. I was so excited when I got it in the mail! Its a really fun shirt. The white/blue band wraps around and ties in the back. Its really fun. I need to find a different tank top to wear under it... the black isn't the best. But the shirt is WAY cute!

  2. Super cute table, Sommer! It looks great in the dining room - with or without the leaf extended. I'm so glad that you had a happy birthday and that your little home is coming together!

    And way to go Son, by noticing and resolving Sommer's painful decision!
    Love, Mom
