Is it just me or did Christmas come around really quickly this year?
As usual we arranged to have everyone join us for dinner on Christmas Eve. We were very excited to see Debbie, Hermann and Steven again, after they arrived from Australia very early in the morning.

Is that an elf hiding behind the couch???
We set up the table in the family room.

On Christmas Day we headed to Tudor Woods to join the Quail family
We went to the San Deck Restaurant in the Sandton Sun and Towers for lunch

Steven waiting for some yummy food
The restaurant with all their Christmas decorations and they had a person playing carols while we all ate.
The buffet was fantastic - soooo many things to choose from that I forgot to take a photo but I did get one of the desert table yummy!!!
These are some of the fantastic sugar art sculptures they had around
more puddings
Father Christmas even stopped by to give Steven presents
He seemed very happy with his new book lol
We had to get our customary group around the Christmas Tree photos
We then went back to Tudor woods to find Father Christmas had visited here too

Another round of family photos to end off a perfect day.
