As I’ve mentioned, my son is a sports nut. His birthday is in July, so it coincides nicely with baseball season and 4th of July, which made a baseball/Americana themed 2nd birthday a no-brainer. I started with some simple table settings. For the tablecloths I used solid red that I popped with a red and white picnic…
