Table Talk

Everyone here in Houston is all a twitter about the weather outside. Yes, its frightful. (I went there. What?) But really I'm more excited about what's going on INSIDE. My house is all decorated for the holidays, and I'm pretty sure this is a new personal record for me. I am pleased with how it all turned out, but I seem to be incapable of taking any good pictures of it. I can't tell if i need a better camera, or if they don't look as good in reality as they do in my mind. Here is the one semi-ok picture I took of the tablescape on the dining room table (as opposed to the one in the kitchen).

Also here is a little peek at what the Thanksgiving table looked like, since I didn't post it earlier:

Off to wrap my pipes ...or whatever the heck you're supposed to do when it freezes.
