Since they were going home for Christmas, we had an early celebration on Friday night.
Daddy and the girls got into the Christmas spirit ...
... and Grace loved the horse Grandpa made for her!
Charlotte soon got the idea of opening presents ...
... and by the end the room looked a bit like a cyclone had been through!
We left the mess for awhile to concentrate on a special meal, with our traditional baked ricotta with sage and cranberries; cashew, cheese and walnut roast with gravy; and roast vegetables ...
... followed by a not-so-traditional ice-cream pudding with chocolate and raspberries!
Charlotte didn't mind, and enjoyed feeding herself some yummy dessert!
We'll do it all again on Sunday, but next time it will be just the four of us.
We love Christmas!
Recipes please! The food looks divine.
