Erika finally dressed in her daytime clothes, and looking very Christmassy.

I thought it best to saber a bottle of Sugrue English sparking for the occasion.

After lunch (we were going to have our Christmas dinner in the evening) I took Erika out for a ride around the block on her new scooter.

Christmas dinner (or at least some of it) on the table.

18:32:36
We had a wellington with some kind of fake meat (purportedly beef themed) as the centrepiece.

18:38:53
Attempted to get a picture of the three of us at the Christmas dinner table.

18:39:25
It took a few attempts.

18:39:50
I think that's as good as it's going to get!

Chie and Erika made a yule log for dessert. This was very good.
