Had a lot of fun yesterday preparing the dinner, getting the tables set for everyone. The table decorations for the kiddie table were hats and seat mats made by Lauren, and the napkin rings were ribbons with each of the girls initials, that they could remove and tie into a necklace (take that Martha Stewart).
And I agonized over the centerpieces because the premade flower arrangements at the grocery store were so expensive for almost nothing. Instead I bought two bouquets and made 3 arrangements out of them...for the price of one of those small premade ones. Here is the one for the adult table, the picture of the kids table shows the second one in a tin can and the 3rd one was on my counter top with the buffet of food (not shown).
The kids most enjoyed Bill popping popcorn.
The turkey was my best thus far...even when I had a slight panic attack as Bill was cutting into it asking me if it was at the right temperature. I realized the timer went off and I just took the turkey out of the oven and let it rest, never checking the temperature. Thankfully, it was done perfectly...whew.
