No new recipes today or culinary inspirations, just a few scenes from our Christmas table and heartfelt holiday wishes for you and your families ...................
................... from Scott & Chris here at The Café!
I thought I'd share our Christmas table with you. We didn't do a ton of decorating this year, kept it fairly simple; a pretty tree, a wreath on the door and a fun, festive mantle over the fireplace. Of course, now that we have grandchildren, I love to set a lovely, colorful table that will be sure to make their eyes dance with delight.
Oh, and speaking of the grandchildren, if you're a regular visitor at The Café, you'll know how smitten we are with these girls (and boy!) of ours. I'm sharing a sweet song they had prepared for Scott and myself when we picked them up at the airport. They flew in from London two weeks ago and, almost before we could give them a big hug, they informed us that they had a song to share, a "German"* song. We recaptured it in this little video:
P.S. I know the girls look like perfect little angels in the video above, but that's not ALWAYS the case. Check out the reality here; 🙂
P.P.S. Scott went to the market today and came home with a slew of fabulous, fresh ingredients. So be sure to check back on Wednesday and Friday for some delicious, healthy recipes to help you recover from all the holiday indulgences!

Merry Christmas to you too Chris!! And thank you for the adorable video. The girls are so sweet, and it's nice to put a bit of personality with the photos that I've seen. I'm so glad you are all enjoying the holidays together, and I'm guessing that candy cane candle was pretty darn popular.
Liv, our family and I wish you a wonderful 2013, I'm so please to have "met" you through the blog world, and I'm looking forward to more of your (husband's?) gorgeous photography and your recipes to come!

I love your table it's so whimsical and bright. Unfortunately I got food poisoning Saturday and spent yesterday in the bathroom and today in bed. My daughter is making dinner tonight - she's very excited about it.
Your granddaughters are adorable!
Have a very Merry Christmas.
