Well, Christmas and New Years have come and gone. So now that things have settled down I will finally get down to some blogging. On Christmas eve we had Joe and Dawn and two families from the neighbourhood come over for our traditional Christmas Coffees. Lots of whipped cream and yummy.
We had our turkey which Gary made the stuffing and stuffed it as usual, I hate putting my hand into the bird so Gary has done it for years, and I did the veggies. I found a great recipie for brussel sprouts with bacon and apple all roasted togeather, yes its a Martha recipie. I did cheat on the roast potatoes because you can buy frozen ones here that roast really nice, not as nice as Nannys of course! The girls were happy with their presents, TaLeah is our pamper queen with her terry towel outfit and her foot spa and body creams. Shanaya loved her Eeyore shirt and was very suprised to recieve a cd that we thought we would not be able to find here as no one had ever heard of them. Kirbey also loved her presents and Mungo even got into the recieving spirit with his new chew toy. Gary and I also managed to find a few presents that we could surprise each other with as we usually know what we are getting. We did our usual Christmas puzzle and I taught the girls how to play Dutch Blitz. It was a nice Christmas but very lonely as this was our first Christmas with no family for any of us.
