Dining Al Fresco

Summer is coming to an end; we've had a mild summer for the most part, but the last few days we've had warmer nights.  I love to take advantage of this time of the year and enjoy dinner outside.  Brad and I love to cook and to entertain.   

Creating the tablescape is one of my favorite parts!  It must stem from while growing up my mom would let me set the table.  I always loved to watch her create her centerpieces for the holidays.  I like to challenge myself to use things around the house and yard in a new way, and mix up linens and tableware.  This one was for an upscale "mexican" dinner:










Here is Audrey enjoying her dinner al fresco- Vegas keeps a close watch for any goodies that don't quite make it in her mouth!
