Christmas Eve 2022...

As is our family tradition, we held our Christmas Eve dinner on Saturday, 24th December. The day was spent preparing for the meal, as well as playing games and reading stories. It was much too cold to venture outside. A major winter storm had rolled through just two days beforehand, and the weather was frigid outdoors. It certainly wasn't as warm as last year's Christmas Eve!

We enjoyed roast chicken and lamb, stuffing, and roast veggies with homemade gravy. After the meal, we played games before having our Christmas pudding - which was aflame with brandy. Yum! :)

Snowy atmosphere outside. Our first white Christmas together in the USA!

The kids loved their Christmas crackers!

We took the easy option when it came to our Christmas pudding. :)
