Tablescapes, Sugar Bowl Santa
We have had quite a Christmas in Alabama this year
After a devastating loss to our arch rival, Auburn, in the Iron Bowl,
we thought our football season was over 😢
Then we got an early Christmas present Dec. 6 when it was announced that Alabama was voted #4 in the country and going to the Sugar Bowl 🎉
We got a taste of a White Christmas with 6 inches of snow
We had a surprise visitor
And a deep freeze on the coast
And of course, the Sugar Bowl!
It was a very Happy New Year when the Tide rolled over the Clemson Tigers! 🍾
We had a cozy celebration with a Sugar Bowl Santa table for 2
We nibbled
We noshed
We sipped
We cheered, by gosh!
Santa waved
Fans raved
The Crimson Tide was filled with Pride!
The beer was cold
And the Tide Rolled!

And here’s another sweet Christmas story…
“Hey Gigi,” said Super Boy {9}, “I’m painting glasses for my Dad and PapaDoc for Christmas”
Oh goodness, can you think of anything more heart-catching than your grandchild being inspired by something you do??? Super Boy has watched me paint glassware his whole life, but this took me by complete surprise!!
“My mom bought the special glass paint and everything!”
really?
“I was just wondering if you had any tips for me?”
“Hmmmm,” I thought, “make sure you tell your mom to bake it in a cold oven and then after the baking time is up, turn the oven off and let the glasses cool down before taking them out”
“Okay, thanks Gigi, I’ll tell my mom!”
Here’s the best part, he spelled PapaDoc, PapaDock…
HH {Papadoc} said, “Well, now that I’m retired and live at the beach, I think that’s better!
What a sweet holiday we had!
I hope your 2018 is as sweet as sugar!

Oh my gosh, what a sweet story! As I was looking at the glasses, I was wondering if the kids had a hand in making them, hehe. I think PapaDock is perfect!
ps….my daughter posted on FB during the SB, “Uhhh hello? Has anyone seen the Clemson Tigers? They’re needed at the sugar bowl. 😂😂” Roll TIde!
Ha! That’s hilarious! Thanks Rita, I think PapaDock is much better too 😂
Too cute!! I’ll bet Papadoc cherishes that glass. Cute table too! It is going to take days to come down from your Sugar Rush, LOL!!
You are so right, we are pretty happy!
Jenna, you are training the grands! What a cute and sweet story! Now, let’s beat Georgia!
I know, right?? Those Dawgs looked really good at the Rose Bowl…
Great memories, Jenna.
Love this sweet post Jenna. Your Christmas was sweet as sugar, no pun intended (right)!!!!! Isn’t it the best when those little ones give you the best compliment ever. Your food and tables look amazing and oh yes, that game! Looking forward to playing GA next week in Atlanta………….
Thanks Emily! I wish we could watch the game together!
Oh, I think you must bottle up all that grandma-inspired love for a very cold day! What a cute and endearing story. And your party looks great!
Thank you Jeanie, I was really blown away when I found out about the glasses…
Oh Jenna… what a darling pic of the children and their surprise visitor!! Your table looks so cute. I love the cheerleader wine glasses! Enjoy your week.
Love this post! It was a great game!
Darling table and cute poem!
Your story about the glasses and Papadock is precious. What a compliment.
Thank you Bonnie, Roll Tide!
Congrats on the win and I love the towels Jenna! Really cute story about the glass too-enjoy:@)
Super sweet! But I can’t help but notice you made THOSE crackers!!! Am I right? I am dying to make. Have the ingredients….. Worth it??
ha ha, yep, pretty tasty!
Adorable Jenna and I love ‘PapaDock’! Some of my hubby’s family are Clemson alums and are still crying in their beer 🙂
So sorry! And now they’re dealing with snow! Not a great time for SC! I hope you are safe and warm…
Jenna, I love your Sugar Bowl Santa table! I’m a huge Tide fan living in So. FL. I’m so excited for the championship game tomorrow night! Roll Tide Roll!
