VERY CUTE, yachter! It's black & gold country around here...as I cheer on the IA Hawks! And they're visiting your place on Tues. I think. But, you need'nt worry...think it's going to be a tough yr for IA BB! (but cheer for us in Orange Bowl, ok?) Just put my few ornies away from off the tree. Bet your g'kids are loving you! FUN!

Great table- it looks like home. ILL-INI

However, spent the day with niece/goddaughter and her Iowa black and gold. We will cheer for Iowa except when they play the Illini.

Yachter, how cute! I bet your grandchildren loved helping you with the table. I was just wondering what type of dishes you'll use with it.

I bet my DH would enjoy it if I did a table for him like this. Of course, it would have to be football though as that's his little obsession. He's anxiously counting down the days until Alabama's Crimson Tide goes up against the Texas Longhorns in the BCS championship game. Oops, that's only 4 days away...not sure I have time to put together a setting since I have nothing to use!

So glad to hear you got to have a little "get a way" time and have some fun.

Table is very nice--made me laugh to see the Santa cheerleader! What a beautiful hutch you have. Bet the kids enjoyed helping you put this together.

jeannespines, our Illini aren't doing so well this year either, won the game against NU on Wednesday nite, then blew a good game today against Gonzaga, it was really close at the end!! We have some really talented players but someone needs to light a fire under them most nites! Frustrating!!

cheekybones, we will cheer for most teams in the Big Ten, if they make the playoffs! Loved seeing Michigan State win it all last year! They deserved it, very talented team & great coach!

dreamgoddess, I'll bet you could find a way to do a football table for your hubby, you are so talented with tablescapes! Dream, I will probably use white dishes, and I have clear blue ones I can top them with.

Luvs, you must have posted while I was replying. Yes the get away was great, very, very cold though, we're about 4 degrees right now & the artic cold hit on New Years eve while we were staying with friends. It wasn't supposed to arrive til Monday!!!

The kids had a ball, our friends daughter & her young son had them all at her home & they played until the wee hours & also went out in her hot tub at midnite & they had ice cicles in their hair!!!

I was not planning a table today, they got it all started, I was trying to play catch up on the laundry! LOL

Love that Santa cheerleader, Lori!

Still Christmas here till the Epiphany on the 6th..that's our tradition.
Glad you had a fun get away..lots of snow and cold here too!

What a fun table and decorations. I didn't know they ever made a Santa cheerleader or snowman for different teams either. Can tell your a great fan and support your team well. Those GKids are pretty special and seem to love working with you. Your quite a team yourselves.haha

Happy you got away for a few days and enjoyed that time.

Now that's what I call 'Team Work' !! lol
Love the cute Santa Cheerleader..
