I was with people I love, eating food I adore and celebrating the gift that is our Lord.
Who could ask for more?
My 1st official holiday dinner in our new home.
I couldn't wait to make things festive and I loved the way the table looked.
I found the sweetest nests to use as place cards- and then found eggs to go inside. I forgot how handy a glue gun can be!
We had 10 for dinner and although I do have 10 place settings of my china, I didn't love the way it looked with the nests and flowers. Good thing my hubs lobbied for white plates- they have come in so handy!
I only have a place setting for 8 in white so I improvised and brought out some antique flow blue plates. I used glasses with blue trim that we rec'd as a wedding present to carry the blue around the table. My mom and I were both giddy when it came together. The finishing touch- blue bunnies that I bought on clearance at the shop where my sweet friend Arlene works. She was coming for dinner and commented immediately when she saw them.
The best part about the table?
Peeking in from outside, seeing everyone together and sharing the special meal with special friends and family.
Hope your Easter was wonderful too!
