Our new tables

Grand Daddy and Nana decided to make the kids tables for their birthday. Paige has a small table and two chairs in her room, but it was not big enough for company tea parties. I knew that they would end up making amazing furniture, but the end result was more than I could have ever imagined!

Ethan's table is a square table with four chairs that slide in under the table to make a big cube. It is about the coolest table I have ever seen! Everyone that sees it wants a big one for themselves. They painted it Cowboy blue and silver to match his Dallas Cowboy room. Look at how awesome this table turned out!!!



They brought in Ethan's table first and set it up in his room. He was so excited! He really did not know what to think. He has never had a table and chairs in his room especially not a cool one. He immediately screamed, "Wow! Thank You So Much Grand Daddy & Nana!!!"


Look at that happy face.


All of the chair seats come off to store treasures in them. Not only do the kids love them, but also us parents love how easy the storage chairs makes cleaning up. :)


Ethan kept going to Paige's room and getting play food to put on his table. We had to show him that he can use his table for anything he wants like building stuff.

I thought it was very touching to see Paige be excited for Ethan. She was not jealous or upset. She was thrilled for him and kept telling him how cool his table was. All the time she had no idea that they had made her one too.

The vision for Paige's table was to make her a dining room table that could hold all the guests at her tea parties. Grand Daddy and Nana had a little help with a pattern on Ethan's table, but Paige's table was a original Mayfield creation. It is so dang cute! I just can't explain how shocked I was with the end result. It looks just like a real kitchen table with fold out leaves and matching chairs with storage.


I mean seriously look at the little flower art work on the back of each chair.

Once the Ethan had had time to absorb his new table, we were ready to go get Paige's table. Ethan decided he needed to help Nana carry that big thing. Ha!


Paige was so excited! She immediately had to sit down and check it out.


Ethan decided to roll his chair in to see her table. We had to stop him from bringing all his chairs in her room. He wanted to see her table but still wanted his as well. She was already putting food and dishes in her chairs.


Then it was time for a tea party! She even got her picnic table cloth and put it on the table first. So cute!! I guess I am going to have to get her a table cloth now too. I can not tell you how many tea parties, dinners and birthday parties we have had at that table.

There are no words to thank you enough, Michael and Linda!!! The tables and chairs are amazing and so are you two! How do we thank you for the countless hours of very hard work. Our kids are so incredibly blessed to have you as grand parents! It just amazes me!
