What a great-looking bunch! And a fantastic menu, too! I'm going to seek out turkey breasts next year. None of us eat the dark meat here, and it always ends up in the garbage! Doing breasts and a beef tenderloin to fill things out for the meat-eaters is an awesome idea!! And it makes the leftovers so much more interesting!
Happy Holidays!

What a lovely table and menu! I can't read the wine bottle - what was it?? Tim would have been all over the beef tenderloin, mashed potatoes with gravy, Brussels Sprouts and the cheesecake with blueberries! TFS

The menu sounds delicious. We had a smoked turkey breast this year, and we loved it. I love the tradition of turkey cooking, but that breast was such a hit, I may never look back. I hope you have a wonderful New Year!

I enjoyed this post! Such a lovely table, menu, and family. Next year, I'm going to try to remember to take a similar picture of my table -- it's so much darn fun to get all glitzey (we don't do that very often, it's usually crockpot stuff and we eat at the kitchen bar - LOL)! You're a doll, my dear crafting friend! I wish you a very blessed and extra special 2010!
