The start of our day commenced with Polar Express which we stopped in order to help Small get our scrambled egg breakfast ready. What a good chef he is.
After breakfast we started decorating. Small decorated the Gingerbread House (never has it been so eloborate in its finery). Smallest and Moo made fondant things which included a penguin, snowman, bird/aeroplane, Santa and a sheep/dog or sheepdog. I made Icing and helped when needed and Huffle fetched and carried.
The result was fabulous................
While we cleared everything away, all the boys played table tennis and on the Wii.
We spent the rest of the day watching the end of Polar Express, eating, drinking, playing Alhambra, solving Rubik's cubes, hiding presents for tomorrow and opening our one Christmas Eve present.
Smallest got a jigsaw which we started straight away. It was very complicated but we managed to get the edges done. Small got a wash bag full of man products. I got some Thorntons chocolates, Huffle got a belt and Moo got a veggie spiraller. Good start.
Huffle and Smallest had a roast pork hot baguette and the rest of us had a Brie or Brie and Beet Chutney baguette. YUM yum. We also made a Warm Ameretto Pudding which wasn't quite right but very nice and alcoholic, though we made a non-alcoholic one for the kids.
More table tennis, more TV, all the vegetables are prepared for tomorrow, some reading by the boys on their own and finally bedtime.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. HOPE YOU HAVE A FABULOUS TIME.
