This year we celebrated Christmas Eve like our friends across the pond. We had tons of fun food from the UK! Wassail, egg nog, stuffed tomatoes & mushrooms, scones with lemon curd, cheesy pudding, goose, bread sauce, bangers & mash, cottage pie, turkish delight, tarts, brandy snaps, and flaming figgy pudding. By the end of the night we were stuffed!!! Oooo, we even had Christmas crackers for everyone…
Amy and Maggie open their cracker
Elsie looked the cutest in her paper crown!
In between cooking and eating, we played games and opened gifts. It’s just as much fun seeing what everyone else got as it is getting things yourself!
playing the Logo game
Ada felt pretty grown up using Aunt Theresa’s camera!
Maggie got Alice in Wonderland
Charlie got Bullseye!
Theresa made Elsie an adorable fox jumper
Stella liked the scarf I made her, she just didn’t like posing for a picture. ;o)
Just before heading to church we lit the figgy pudding! It was beautiful!
Our candlelight service went really well and we even had visitors! And this year, we arrived before most of the congregation! LOL
We came home tired and watched a movie before sending everyone off to bed early so Santa could get a good night’s sleep!
It was a smashing good Christmas eve!!!
