…was full of babies,
and small people,
(it’s a good thing my niece got a vacuum for Christmas, because these get-togethers are always so messy. 😉 )
candles,
present-opening at other people’s houses,
and at our own,
cinnamon rolls,
a fancier table than usual,
(my poor neglected china doesn’t see the light of day very often)
yummy, not-traditional Christmas food,
and a serious session of silly-face-making during dinner.
I hope your celebration was delightful too. 🙂
(Details about some of the presents we bought for the kids will be in a forthcoming post. I just didn’t want to make this one too long!)

Your celebrations look delightful!
Interestingly, strawberries *are* a traditional Christmas food here in New Zealand, with it being summer and all. :-)

We have the same china pattern! What excellent taste you have. ;)
Ours also doesn't see the light of day very often but we did pull it out for Christmas. It's important to try to civilize my children every so often.

I just came here to post that I have the same china as well! Although mine was a hand-me-down family gift after my grandma passed away. I love it nonetheless! Many memories have been had over that set and many more to come!

A lovely post. You have a beautiful family. I couldn't believe it when I saw your lovely china. My friend has a set just like it. She keeps it in the cabinet, but it comes out on special occasions.
