Happy Christmas everyone!
I hope you have some truly happy times over Christmas and much joy and peace in the year 2014 to come!
There are many lovely Christmas things I would like to tell you about …
We decorated our tree with two of L’s work colleges, along with our own mulled wine and festive snacks …
I’ve been finding (with a little help from the husband!), sewing, sticking, painting and wrapping Christmas gifts for friends and family …
I held a Gingerbread Party for my friends and my sisters …
… we had so much fun decorating gingerbread men that my friend A and myself had made!
My personal favourite was Eve – complete with a little red apple in her hand! Go C!! 😉
I cooked up a two course Christmas meal just for my hubby and I, with inspiration from the latest Masterchef The Professionals Series … although thank goodness I’m not being judged on the final result!! 😛
(Pickled Beetroot with Grilled Goats Cheese and Walnuts, followed by Shin of Beef braised in Red Wine, with Bacon-wrapped Potato Cakes, Roasted Shallots and tenderstem broccoli.)
I baked, fed with brandy, iced and decorated three Christmas cakes for friends and family …
And we got to attended the lovely Christmas wedding of two wonderful, God-loving friends and celebrate with their blood and church families!
My faithful little camera broke and although L thankfully has one he never uses, it is taking quite a bit of getting used to – hence the lack of photos! 😛 Our internet connection is also playing around, so I can’t always upload/download things when I want to …
If this was not the case, you would have had more photos and blog posts from me … I miss talking to you!
My first resolution for next year: learn how to use L’s camera so it takes photos I like!!
Have times of much love with your families, peace in the midst of trouble, happiness in the small things, joy in the greatest gift of all time and the hope of things to come!!
Our love,
Mr and Mrs Moose
