Then on Saturday we hosted Christmas dinner at our house. Justin made a delicious prime rib. I was so worried about getting pictures of the table before people sat down, I forgot to turn on the lamps, set out the place cards, and put out the knives before snapping the first couple!
The tablecloth is from Target (and fits in perfectly with my silver holiday-decor theme). I just bought 3 single stem white hydrangeas and some mini-red carnations and made simple arrangements in vintage-looking glasses from Anthropologie.
Justin purchased gorgeous paper from Paper Source to wrap my presents (isn't he the best?), and I used the extra to make simple place cards. Looking at these now, I should have used a thicker sharpie, but the names were darker in person!
On Sunday evening, we had some friends over for our annual Christmas party. I was regretting that decision during my 10:00 a.m. meeting this morning! But we had a blast. I'll post the recipes from the party later. I am headed to Kentucky tomorrow, so I am off to pack (the high there is only going to be 31 - yikes!).
