Pre-Christmas dinner: Since we were not going to be cooking our own Christmas dinner this year, it felt a bit wrong not to have a turkey of our own, so we made the whole spread the weekend before Christmas-Megan came round to enjoy it with us, and brought her homemade Australian trifle. Dan got the opportunity to practice his mum's brussel sprouts with cream, bacon and almonds, and my word, those sprouts were the best we have ever tasted!
Christmas Eve had a south American flavour, as we had a BBQ with Aldo and Mon and their Brazilian family. The meat was amazing (brought to brisbane in a suitcase from Sydney Aldo's parents live), and the bean and chirizo rice was amazing aswell!
So, Christmas day, we made our way over to Sam and Paula's place in Fig Tree Pocket to have an amazing Christmas dinner.
I swear I'd never seen so many roast pototoes!!
It was so warm, afterward we had a great stroll along the Brisbane river and an ice pop to cool down when we returned! Then the girls beat the boys at a round of Cranium (which happens to be a great combination of pictionary/charades/trivial pursuit all rolled into one-on my christmas list for next year I think...!).
