Fancy Fancy!

I am SO happy to report that after 10 years of waiting I've finally been able to use my fancy Christmas dish set!! Yes indeed this is a moment worth blogging! About 10 years ago my grandma gave me this set of Christmas dishes that at the time I thought I would never be able to use (I was a teenager so adulthood seemed a million years away!) I put the box in my closet and left it there for years and years. When I graduated high school my grandma bought me a cedar chest as a graduation presant and I moved the dishes from the closet into the chest. I kept looking at the box year after year wondering if the day would ever come that I could actually open it up and use the dishes....that day finally came. I brought them with me when I moved and was determined to use them this year. Last night we invited some friends over for dinner from our ward and I opened the cupboard to get my normal dishes out and saw the box on the top shelf. I thought to myself 'Why not?!' then I realized how incredibly perfect it would be to use these dishes because... IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME!!!!!

Daniel was working at K-Mart on Saturday night and noticed that they had a 50% off Sale on a bunch of Christmas items and found this beautiful red table cloth for me. It came with 6 napkins with decorative gold ring around them. It made everything look sooooooo fancy-shmansy!

We even had awesome wine glasses that we ended up filling with Sprite!

The design on the plates are poinsettias with a gold trim. It came with 4 dinner plates, 4 salad plates, 4 cups plus saucers, and 4 dessert plates.

This is Daniel, Jacquie, and Garret eating a fabulous homecooked meal on our totally awesome table!
