Christmas 2012

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.


Our tree


Alan's rudolf decoration


Is that an elf hiding behind the couch???

We set up the table in the family room.

The Frosty cake I made




The place cards, featuring a name as well as a google generated elf name.



The place setting complete with "elf boot" serviette and raindeer noses favours




All the family sitting around the table. Alan, Cynthia, Gavin, Hermann, Debbie, Bryan, Janene, Martyn, Maryann and Lyn took the photo.
( poor little Steven had jetlag so slept through it all )

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




Steven opening his first present











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