Yesterday we had a lovely Christmas dinner with all the folks around here. Actually, nothing was different about it from any other Sunday dinner we have except that we decorated the table more than usual. We still had the traditional Sunday beans & franks, of course, but it was fun to pull out and use all the Christmas dining decor. Our ward did this cool thing for their Christmas party and they asked people to sign up to "dress" a table - provide the place settings, center piece and any other cutesy things. I thought it sounded like fun so I signed up to do a table. And it was actually great fun!! And fun to see everyone else's "dressed" tables, too. I am just kicking myself for not taking any pics of it. Blarg. Anyway, so I did the same thing to our dining table last night that I did at the ward Christmas party. And again - I forgot to take pics. But it was pretty good lookin' if I do say so myself!! Someone remembered to take pics in the middle of dinner, so here are a couple that we got. I think Cris has some on his camera, too - is that right, Cris?? Do you have any better ones that these? Would love to see them!
ps - we missed you, Betsy!!
A kind-of sideways pics of the table and all our half-eaten dinners...
