A Lovely Dinner

Last night I had my Father, Step Mom, Sisters, Tiffany & Shakayla & My Grandparents over for dinner. It was a  wonderful evening so nice to see my Grandparents who live several hours away & I hadn't seen in a while. I am mad at myself though because I forgot to take pictures of everybody while they were over and of the dinner like I had planned, I had Lasagna, corn & french bread with pumpkin pie and apple cider for desert. I did take pictures of my table setting before they arrived though so here they are...





 
I have enough of my plates in big and small to do all white or all green but I love to do the opposites rotating every other plate.


Remember this Santa & sleigh that I showed in my post about a week ago that I had painted white, well I had tapers in it before but I but tea lite cups in it for a change and I love that way it looked.





This was my Grandparents first time coming over to my house since I moved in about 7 months ago. It was so sweet of them to bring me a house warming gift. I love these bird ornaments they got for me there is 3 of them aren't they pretty?

 As well as this ornament I love how sparkly it is!
 They also brought me this gorgeous huge white & sparkly bow its so beautiful that I am waiting to find the most perfect place for it before I share it on my blog.


Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

    You set a beautiful table, and it sounds like you provided a delicious dinner. Don't know how you do all of this with working so many hours. I enjoy how you end your blog with words from Christmas songs.

    Hi Janae!

    Love the snowy look of your table. The napkins and rings are so pretty, and the sleigh and reindeer look so whimsical in white.

    Thanks for stopping in for a visit and entering my giveaway. Now, if you win the three tiered server, are you going to paint it white? ;)

    This is quite a lovely table. I love the way you mixed up the china. Those whites and soft greens are beautiful and what a charming Santa centerpiece. I know your family was delighted.
