Christmas Morning was nearly the first time in two months that we were all present... everyone was there, except Shota's Sister.. who was having a sleep in. So the five of us enjoyed Smoked Salmon and cream cheese.
These were our gifts under the pot plants... My beautiful friend Amy sent me the parcel in the POST bag and Mummas were wrapped and underneath...
Our presents from Mumma included a Bon Bon's with a Christmas hat each and a packet of "furry friends" to share with the family :)
Chisa and Nobutaka with their Australian themed Calandar from Amy Little... they loved it! It is currently on the fridge.
At 12pm Nobutaka, Kohei and I popped down to the local station to collect Claire, once we returned the feast began...
Festive Corn Chips...
Gyoza (handmade by Chisa) Cheese, Hummus and Chandon...
Ricepaper rolls
One of my Christmas presents from Amy Little, a stylish pink floppy hat...
Chicken & Potato in a mushroom sauce
More Chandon.... thank-you very much Claire :)
The festive window display
And later after we had eaten so much, Claire and I moved onto Red Wine and it was present time!! We had decided to all spend 1,000 YEN on a present (roughly $12) then we all picked a letter out of hat, which determined which present we received.
It was a relaxing and slightly lazy Christmas Day.... but I had a wonderful time! We did have Desserts as well, I just failed to photograph them. I made Rocky Road, Chisa made Stollen and Shota made a Chocolate Log cake! All delicious!
Oh and by the end of the night Nobutaka and Kohei were "asleep" infront of the telly...
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
