Christmas Eve and day

Gathered for Brown / Ellis Christmas Eve at Sophie and Paul's house. 

 

Dang, that girl can set a table. 

 

Simple and beautiful. Cuttings from her yew. 

 

Milk glass and vintage brass candlesticks. 

 

Mantel. 

 

Oyster tree and little pencil tree   

 

More preciousness. 

 

The total view

 

Ed serves up the chicken from a veritable chest as Mom and Karen look on. 

 

Our Mamaw always cooked her own chicken. We didn't. 

 

Total spread. Kathy's famous baked beans and Karen's newly famous crockpot macaroni and cheese ❤️❤️

 

Satisfied customers 

 

After dinner we viewed our Mamaw's pitcher collection. 

 

We shed a few tears remembering. We all selected one to take away and treasure. Will repeat with grands on Monday. 

 

Daughters, Mom and nieces. All I could think of is how our Mamaw would have loved to see us!

  1. What a good start to the many things we planned. The food and company were enjoyed by me. All began with my Mom and Dad. I love tradition. MOM
