I hosted a dinner for my daughter-in-law’s family this weekend. I was delighted that her youngest sister was here visiting from Boston. The original intent for Pairs was to have it be Before and After, but by the time I remembered to take the After photo, most of the dishes had been cleared away. Luckily, I took a During photo for my Christmas Journal. So here they are:
BEFORE:
I always love this view from our dining room table into the living room, but especially at Christmas. I also love these snowflake plates I bought at Target several years ago.
DURING:
José is missing from this photo. He had to work late, but arrived in time to eat his dinner before we started on dessert! I love my DIL and her family, and are glad they are all willing to gather around our table.
Joining in with other Pairs at Helena’s blog. We’re so near the end of another wonderful year of photographic fun!
Beautiful Pairs – nice to have such a large family gathering & with such pretty plates, very festive.
delightful pair – love the snowflake plates and the view along the table
I can see why you enjoy that view – the shot is worthy of a holiday decorating magazine! (although I suppose the magazine stagers would want to remove the high chair and the little girl plate and the things that make it so quintessentially family!)
How lovely! It’s nice to see the table all ready and then the contrast in the next picture. A perfect pair.
Lovely family gathering…
Lovely to see your family gathering, you have a great view through to the other room with the tree.
A great set of pairs, Karen! Skylar is looking so grown up!!!
Looks lovely and I love the view through to the other room.
Oh! this is a really wonderful Pair Karen. The table looks so lovely in both pictures and I have pretty star plate envy now!
Ah, everything looks so lovely and the happy smiling faces show that everyone had a grand time. Love your tree and the view from the dining room table. Great memories.
Cheers~
Great pairs. Looks like it was a wonderful dinner!
