Christmas Lunch 2011

Merry Christmas to all. We had a nice lovely time with our family here.

This year we have the kids here and MIL, Ho Yee and we celebrated with Sharon's family and also Brian's mom. It was a big gathering with lots of food and joy.

Kids woke up extra early to open their presents. all happily tearing the wrappers and opening their toys.


All busy playing with the toys



We were all busy with the food preparation. Jan also helped with decorating the cookies. We made gingerbread shaped cookies the day before as the oven was booked for the turkey on Christmas day.

All the kids. playing games day after day

as usual, we always have a mixed Christmas lunch. Last year we had ikan bakar and this year hubs made salted fish fried mee hoon and MIL made wan tan mee (without the wan tans). so we had asian food and western food altogether.

Hubs made the Turkey, Sharon brough coleslaws, her famous potato salad, a ham for us (which we did not cut), cocktail prawns. There were also bbq sausages, lambs, mushroom. and endless of other stuff.

Brian doing the honour cutting the turkey while the hungry boys looked on.

Brian's mom made truffles and also brought pavlova over. all the kids were getting excited
Family shot minus hubs, Justin and the kids. Ho Yee enjoyed the lunch so much. She loves the potato salad and kept asking for seconds.

we had alot of leftovers the next day which we made into Turkey stock. MIL and hubs used it for alot of meals, frying noodles, making risotto, which is all so yum!

that is our Christmas for 2011 :)
