I decorated the formal dining room with the theme "Christmas is for the Kids...big and small" |
I hung lots of Christmas balls on the chandy |
All the chairs have their Christmas sweater on....This is our daughters chair... |
I have found that this is a good way to enjoy my mothers Christmas sweater collection....This is my chair....Austin usually sets next to me. |
I hung a Santa head on this chair...Aaron usually sits here. |
The Christmas centerpiece is a vintage wood bread bowl...I have filled it with all kinds of vintage goodies |
This little Santa is battery operated and does a little dance.. |
I added a few honeycomb decorations... |
All the place settings are white ironstone...but have different place mats... |
Some are old poster board... |
some are vintage Christmas books...This is where Kyleigh sits... |
I used milk glass tea cups and water glasses .... |
Some guests will get ribbon candy and some will get Christmas cookies on their plate... |
Vintage honeycomb tree with miniature ornaments and a cute little Santa.. |
Vintage cloth napkins and ornament place card holders...I don't really need place cared holders...everyone has "their" own place! |
The little snowman cookie jar is surrounded by snow balls This is where H sits.... |
I hope you enjoyed our Christmas tablescape......I will do a separate post on the "Memory" Christmas tree, the buffet., and the Santa head tree that you can see at the end of the table. |
