We had a perfect Christmas Day, beautiful weather, wonderful family and friends and delicious food in abundance!
Who could ask for more?!
We had Christmas at home for 20 this year, I was exhausted by the end of the day but the day was all that I wanted it to be plus it won't be my turn to host for at least another 4 years :)
I was so happy to see blue skies for Christmas Day!
Any presents left in there?!
The stunning Bombe Alaska made by Simon's uncle.
Food, glorious food!
