Christmas tablescape

Well, I totally forgot to post this one!

I had to laugh because three of the girls in my extended family

sent me videos showing me how to make these christmas tree

napkins, I felt the pressure!

So I made them up for our Christmas eve dinner.

I have NEVER ever hosted for Christmas eve,

my entire life it has been at my Dad's, and then

when my Dad and his wife bought a house in Arizona

they continued hosting at my sisters house.  But this year she was in Australia with her husband and my Dad's wife had knee surgery so it was me!!!

It always feels a little different when our traditions are changed up,

but overall really nice day just being together. 

I chose this year to embace my scandinavian heritage by

decorating in a more natural neutral style.

I brought the outdoors in by bringing by using some

cedar trimmings in the middle of the table, some candles,

wood beads and dried oranges.  Pretty basic and easy.

Used all the things I had on hand, 

which I always tell you all to do!!

Hope you all had a wonderfully memorable Christmas season!
