Once more we spent Christmas in Brisbane with Christy's family. This year, Christy's father visited from the US. This meant that except for Melissa and Nathan all Christy's siblings as well as her parents were present.
Tyler made the trip timely for Christmas Day, arriving at 6:55 in the morning.
After having picked him up the time to prepare for the Christmas gathering had come.
This year we made the following foods:
- Turkey (stuffed with Celery, Onion, Herbs and Bread)
- Ham (glazed with Maple Syrup, Brown Sugar and Beer, the three reduced but we also applied syrup directly on the ham)
- Blanched String Beans with crumbled Feta
- Mashed Potatoes
- Oven Potatoes
- Rolls
people also brought food along including
- Salad with Root Vegetables and Pine Nuts
- Pasta Salad
- Rum balls
last but not least we had Christy's heavenly pumpkin cheese cake.
All in all a great meal with great company. We had the Whatleys and most of the McMurries in attendance.
