christmas dinner came three weeks early! :)

Tonight we had a Christmas dinner with Liz, Erin, and Michelle (another YSA), Erin is off to Vancouver, Seattle, Utah, and a good chunk in Calgary, and will be gone over Christmas, so we had a little early celebration!

For starters Liz made a shrimp cocktail (she really pulled out all the stops!) Then, we had pork with crackle (it's the pig skin all brown and lovely from the oven ... yum!), potatoes, pumpkin, and parsnips, green beans with almonds, and peas.

Then for dessert we had shortbread cookies mailed form Melbourne by Liz's mom, trifle, and fruit mince pies ... there's Christmas pudding with custard and ice cream as well ... but we were well stuffed with everything else that we'll have to eat that tomorrow before Erin leaves on Tuesday ... and there's still pie left in the fridge! :)

errr ... the Holidays don't exactly help me in healthful plans, but, boy howdy, it sure is fun! :)

Here are some pics ... enjoy!

Erin, and you can see the trifle, fruit mince pies, and shortbread

I think that this is too cute ... both Erin and Liz working on quilts, cuter still is that they're
actually working on each other's quilt. Erin's is actually the blue one, for a good girlfriend's birthday
and the Christmas one is a gift from Liz to her son and his family in Canada, to be used as a tablecloth
