Christmas shopping is all done

We finished our Christmas shopping in true last minute fashion by waiting till Christmas eve to get the last of the presents and the food.  I am quite confident that we will just about have enough to eat.
We made a list last night while playing monopoly and worked out the menu for the day:

Breakfast
croissant
bacon
eggs

Snacks
nuts
soy crisps
fruit
marshmallows (Evan's contribution to the list)
cheese
cabonossi
crackers

Lunch
humane leg ham
salad
prawns
oysters
pasta bake
cheesecake

Dinner
A turducken - never had one of these before but it sounds so cool I am excited about trying it.  This turduken is wrapped in bacon, so our carnivores are in raptures over the sheer meatiness of it.
roast vegies
gravy
Christmas pudding with custard and icecream


and if we are still not totally stuffed after all of that we have shortbread and mince pies for afters.


Looking forward to all the fun of eating and unwrapping pressies tomorrow

Ho Ho Ho bring it on Santa.

In the meantime to pass the time we have engaged in a massive floor game of monopoly.  Sarah and Harry laid out a square of mats that they named after the streets in monopoly.  We grabbed some big game pieces and are walking them around our improvised board.

We have all of the cards and money from the original game.  So it's exactly the same, just in jumbo version.  While playing the boys are still managing to use their ipads and ipods, playing their apps at the same time as playing the big family monopoly game.

This game is gonna take days to finish
