Just want to share some pics from our holiday dinner over the weekend…
It was nighttime, so lighting wasn’t ideal…I absolutely despise shooting at night b/c lighting is so poor!
Preparation…
Plates of many little nibbles. Zoey always has to be part of the action!
Loving our clear coffee table. Def. a space maximizer.
My husband made dinner. Pan seared duck (in butter) w/ blueberry sauce and sides of roasted mushrooms, potatoes, shallots, and brussel sprouts.
Our friends were kind enough to bring sparkling cider and a basket of holiday yummies!
Fine food and great company. Can’t ask for more than that!
My little dessert & tea station.
I made some truffles in 4 yummy flavors!
Including green tea…
Zoey tiptoeing for some treats…
So guilty!
Chocolate dipped biscotti.
Uncle Frank created this snowflake latte art.
I enjoyed my desserts w/ tea. It was YUM.
Enjoy your holiday dinner parties!
Beautiful!

I love that tea station! What a great idea!! And the dinner looked DELICIOUS. Where did you get those demitasse cups? I’ve been trying to find some like that and haven’t met my match!

Hi Lauren- Those cups (the small ones, right?) they actually came w/ my expresso machine.

Yeah! Those are great!! That’s so nice that they came with it, better luck next time I suppose. Who makes your machine? Maybe they sell them separately?
