I took some pictures of my home yesterday am while getting prepared for our family and friends, I'm letting Kipp know how the whole day went as he is in Poland this year,and thought I'd share some of them with you.
Ok gotta put this littel snow gal in. Country Folks Keepsakes is where youll find these sweeties made by Karen Pender who is one of the sweetest funniest gals around!
This is Kipp's 1st baby ornament! also some Christmas goodies he purchased for his us when he was in elementary school. I love them so much! A smile to start each day!
setting up the buffet
some house proud pictures of our little home by the ocean, a great way to protect your furniture from food and alcohol mishaps, I cover my chairs with vintage Christmas tablecloths.
Now my couch is a rough and terribley distress leather mess but it is so comfortable and the crochet bedspread is perfect for covering the years of use.
a little bit of cheer in every corner of our home
ok back to the begining of setting up for the day
Dan smoked some salmon which was delicious!
I made some swedish meatballs, but i thought they were bland, the gravey was KILLER though
we had some sausage as well which was amazing, Rays Quality Meats makes it homemade and it is delicious, so far i've never had a hard piece of grizzle or a bone chip, which grosses me out so much.
of course turkey and stuffing,
A serving secret, I prefer to put smaller amounts out as it keeps people bzy eating continuously as opposed to filling up and getting sleepy. Also it keeps people eating the hors d oeurves all day and night which is important when lots of libations are offered.
welp gotta start the day and get to work, i'm feeling springish. Have a wonderful day everyone!
Happy New Year, Darlin'!!! Your home looks so festive!! Wish I could reach in and grab me some of those good eats you had!
ReplyDeleteGive the boys a new year's kiss from Stella!
