With two amazing little bundles of joy in our household, we thank our lucky stars everyday that they’re part of our lives and that we’ve got such amazing friends and family to help guide them in the right direction (or at least keep their heads from hitting the hard wood too roughly while throwing tantrums on the kitchen floor – yes, we’ve hit the terrible two’s a little early). And since we’re not the most religious folks, but do have strong thoughts on the values we want to raise these kiddos with, we put together a little shindig to officially put those ideas to paper. Hadley and Carter’s great godparents joined for a starry-themed brunch with bright colors and dancing cows and lots of quirky stars on sticks.

The gold-ish tablecloth and definitely gold chargers were a nice backdrop to bright colored napkins. Bud vases held up the nursery-rhyme-esque stars and pot-bellied cows. Our family creed was the centerpiece.

I loved putting together these bright paper stars that hung over the table. Something fun to look up at really makes a simple table look more festive.

So even if the girls were pretty/completely unaware of what was going on, it was a nice little moment for our little family that’s full of lots of love. And hopefully the girls will live up to at least some of our wishes for them, like the (least) important one of wanting to get their nails done with me.
