We went over to Christine & Sam's place for Christmas dinner this year. Christine and Rory were busy in the kitchen all day preparing the turkey and the rest of the meal. It was my first time to see Matt & Momo's baby girl, Ume. Here is Ayako with Momo and Ume:
And here's Matt with Ume:
The other youngster there was Rory and Julia's daughter, Indi. Here's a shot of her in the kitchen, from her level of view:
Here is a shot of the wonderful turkey before it was carved up:
And here we are after opening the Xmas crackers and putting our hats on (done before the meal, which was a first for me):
Here's a shot of almost the whole group (sorry Momo & Ume):
There was some delicious gravy for the turkey, fresh from the gravy cow:
And here is a plate full ready to be eaten:
After dinner, we were given some small musical instruments, which started up some small tunes:
And at the end of the night, we had Ayako's Christmas pudding. Here's a shot of it after being doused with brandy and lit:
Sorry, there isn't a shot of the cake afterwards. It was eaten too quickly. Ayako was happy that all the Brits there thought it tasted fabulous. I thought it was great. Maybe the richest plum pudding I've ever had. Ayako also found out that it was a bit too rich for the Japanese who were there. We had a wonderful Christmas and a delicious dinner which left us all very full...hope you had a Merry Christmas too.
