New Year's eve Dinner - 12/31/2019
This year most of our circle of friends are out of town and there are only 3 couples left. We did not really planned ahead, and it is too late to get a reservation to a good restaurant, so we decided to do a fancy pot luck.
Maily wanted to have the party at her house but I convinced her to move it to our house so that Kevin and Kristy can join with us for a few hours.
Table is set up and the theme is winter wonderland.
I basically used only 3 colors to set up the table: white, silver, and blue to represent the Winter Wonderland theme.
Main view of the table.
All the elements of the décor are inspired of soft tones to create a feeling of a winter fairytale.

This year the decoration is minimal but it still look very special.
