What a wonderful holiday! I had such a relaxing, family day. How nice to have such a fun, easy going houseful of people. Dinner was tasty and simple to fix, and the dessert thatBeth brought was over the top, wonderful! (frozen tiramisu)
Beth also made this wallpaper encrusted box for me and filled it with tidbits and ephemeral treats.
Who else knows me well enough to give me a box loaded with with pretty little things like this?
And this? Not to mention, she also gifted me with a Magnolia Pearl book! This was my year for gifts, I raked them in, a pink cashmere scarf from Ryan and a GPS from my husband, as well as a drawing on pink paper from Sugarwings! She knows what colors I like, just like Ry did. And with the GPS, I will never miss out on finding a garage sale again.
Sugarwings was entranced by the treat cabinet.
She made a few trips back to it.
There was some singing and dancing.
Handsome sons opening gifts.
New friends getting acquainted.
And promises kept. Yes, Santa brought the Mermaid that Sugarwings was waiting for. I can't imagine a better holiday.
Sugarwings and I are going to go hang out and play with her new friends, and maybe see a movie. So, I'll leave you with a few photos of the Christmas Dinner dining table. I tend to fill the center of the table with odds and ends of pretty things, so that each person sitting down to eat, has something interesting to look at.
I can see you had a lovely time! Pretty table scape, handsome sons, and beautiful, Sugarwings. Glad all was well.
My best gift from hubby was a Wii.
Blessings, Sharon
It looks like a good day was had by all, maybe a little R&R today for you with a liberal dash of glitter. Enjoy Donna

Looks like everyone was good this year. That Sugarwings is adorable. Her Daddy and Uncle are very handsome too.
Beth’s dessert looks scrumtious. I will need new cloths soon. I have been eating everything in sight. lol
I did go do a little after Christmas shopping. The Martha Glitter we all love is 50% off at Walmart. I got a bottle in every color. Did you go after Christmas shopping, Karla?
Looks like you had a festive time. Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you have a great New Year!
Hi Karla
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a very healthy and prosperous New Year.
Hows Twinkles doing? Can’t wait to see the little ones
Hi Karla, I’m so glad you had a wonderful Christmas.
What a stunning table center piece. Who wouldn’t enjoy their meal when surrounded by such pretties.
Hugs,

We had a similar day minus tiramisu (we had cheesecake) and Sugarwings (no little bitty ones at all), but it was peaceful and quite perfect. Happy 2009 Karla! All my best…
Such a lovely table setting, I can almost picture myself there…well kinda sorta, I know exactly what you mean about little boxes of treats from friends who totally ‘get you’. To everyone else it looks like a box of rubbishy old things but to us it is the most exquisite treasure!! Happy Holidays!!! Christmas Kiss Noises Linda Lilly Cottage
I see where Sugarwings gets her cuteness! Your boys are cuties!
So nice that Beth “gets you” and gave you that wonderful box full of goodies! I love the little cupids too! I finally dug out my collage packet you gave me and I’ve been gluing and glittering all night! I’m having a blast!
What a wonderful day! Happy Holidays!
Everything was so beautiful!!! Merry Christmas!!!

How lovely! Love the fairy birthday candles! Ms. Sugarwings as always looks like a festive angel! Sounds fun!
Looks lovely and perfect! So glad you had a lovely holiday!
Karla, Sugarwings looked so cute in her Christmas dress. I don’t blame her for looking at the goodies. I would have too. I can’t resist sweets. Your table looked great. You always manage to put together great centerpieces with it seems no effort at all. It looks like Santa was good to you, so hope the New year is too.
