I’ve always loved entertaining. There’s just something magical that happens when you bring amazing people together to eat, drink and enjoy each other’s company. That’s why co-hosting this festive holiday dinner in Big Bear with my friend, Sydne, made my heart so happy. The two of us along with three of our dear friends: Melanee, Rachel & Laura, snuggled in with festive holiday decorations, a roaring fire in the fireplace, jazzy Christmas tunes and delicious Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc. We ate a variety of pastas, salads and roasted chicken. We spent hours laughing and talking while recounting our trip and taking in the view of the crisp white snow outside our windows. My favorite thing about our evening is that we weren’t celebrating anything in particular. We were just having a lovely meal together in our charming log cabin in the mountains. Sometimes it’s nice to stop and appreciate the little moments. Cheers to my favorite time of year!
Do you love hosting dinner parties as much as I do?

omg the set up is perfection!!! And you ladies look stunning, all of you. Such a beautiful evening this must have been, wow.
Looks like you had an amazing dinner party with friends! I don’t host as many dinner parties as I used to but I love them when I do!
What a beautiful holiday celebration! I love your table setting!
This is so gorgeous. I love a good antler chandelier. Thanks for all the ideas.
I love hosting parties. The stress of preparing for it is all gone when the first person walks through the door
This looks like so much fun! What a great way to celebrate the season!
I love hosting parties. I have a few parties to host this season. I can surely use these tips.
I am insanely jealous as I don’t have many female friends and certainly don’t get to entertain much – although I love it too. I travel the world and hop from one country to another, which is great most of the time but can get pretty lonely.
Thanks for sharing your stunning pictures. Lovely!
Hello, I love these parties to celebrate with the family and your ideas will definitely help me. Thank you for sharing it with us.
