This year I was able to host Christmas and it could not have been any more fun. We spent the morning watching the kiddos open gifts, relaxing, and cooking the main course. Christmas eve day Ellie and I began the festivities with quite a bit of baking. One of my favorite traditions is baking Jesus a birthday cake and this year we went with the Sprinkles mix, so good. Ellie then was sure to let Jesus know she was going to save the best one for Him, but He would have to multiply it if He wanted to share with everyone in Heaven. I set the table using my late grandmothers dishes and it made my day when my father walked in and said it looked like a table my grandmother would have done. Oh, and the best part? It snowed for the first time on Christmas day since I have lived here. That's 14 years! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas also.

Your table was absolutely gorgeous Paula and I loved loved the kids table- we had one too and seeing all three little ones eating together was probably the highlight of my Christmas:) Your photos are stunning and how exciting to have snow on Christmas- we didn't have any this year and it really felt like something was missing. So happy you had such a lovely day with your family! xo

The snow was a welcomed surprise. We ended up staying in Birmingham through Christmas day, delighted to play in the snow, I think there were a few inches in Shoal Creek, more than enough for a snowball fight :-)
Love it!! So pretty especially your napkins :).
I spy Sister Schubert Rolls! Aren't they the best? Everything looks wonderful.
It all looks lovely and picture perfect :D
glad you had a fabulous Christmas
Christmas was nice in my house too even though the tree was without a star which my son pointed out more than once LOL
The table looks so beautiful. I love the white and blue.
Wow Paula your home looked amazing! The table was simply beautiful and your tulips reminded me of one of my favourite scenes from Family Stone movie where the granddaughter ran into the kitchen with a huge bunch wrapped in brown paper.
Hope you have an amazing rest of the festive season.
