There's no place like home

We are back from our week

in the big city...

....and I agree with Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz

There's no place like home!!

But we really enjoyed our time visiting

friends and family in the Dallas area

The highlight of our stay

was our weekend with our

dear friends, the Paonessa's

Let me show you around

their beautiful holiday home

I love the breakfast area

the red dishes make such a holiday statement!

The kitchen was very festive as well

and the formal dining room

was beautiful

Carol knows how to set a table!!!!

They love to cook and entertain
so the above rooms are the
most popular at the Paonessa's home

But the rest of their house is equally as beautiful....



Tom & Carol have such a talent

for decorating



We had such a wonderful time

celebrating the holidays with

our dear friends

and as you may remember from

previous posts when hubby & Tom

get together in the kitchen

great food starts happening........

Every Little Birdie says

Check back later in the week

for my post on all the fabulous

food these two great chefs cooked up

for our special holiday visit
