Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas

As you know, we celebrated Christmas on Saturday, so it now feels like Christmas is over, but its NOT! Our dinner was fantastic, and the food was even better.We cleared out the room that Karl and I shared at his parents place, and set up all the tables and decor in there.
















This is the arrangement I made at my flower arranging class last week.

















Christina is gonna kill me, but I couldn't resist putting this up. She was trying to catch a snooze before the festivities.


















I made potato and leek soup for starters, and then roast veg with the main. Moira made turkey, gammon and sausages with stuffinf and gravy. Aunt Margaret broke her arm, but she somehow still managed to make the mash and a baileys (sort of like amarula) cheesecake. Christina made a rocky road cake, Harpinder made banana bread and Fionnula made cake!
Finn's xmas tree cake

the girls hard work!

And I made a chocolate fudge and carrot cake snowman (who is melting a bit!)
the beginnings of a yummy pot of mulled wine - cool Jamie Oliver recipe - very easy

 I am actually on my way to work.... sort of. Helping out with a friend's business over the busy Xmas period for a few days a week, so at least it keeps me out of trouble! xx
