Lots of Baking
Lots of cooking going on here. The JOY of this Christmas is to discover that all four of us can contribute making much less work. This morning Nels made the lobster casserole, Lou made thumb cookies, Hels made a SUCCESSFUL Buche de Noel. I supervised :)
The menu for Christmas Eve
scallops wrapped in bacon
fig cake & goat cheese
veggies and dip
stilton cheese with fig spread on baguette
pancetta/mozzarella
mozzarella sticks (kids)
lobster casserole and salad
cookies and port for Santa
The menu for Christmas Day
cinnamon rolls (still have to make those)
sausage
leftover lobster for lunch
dinner with friends--featuring roast beef and Buche de Noel
Merry Christmas to all my blogger friends!

These two tiny friends will be in the tops of the stockings. Sorry for the poor photo--I took it down in the basement. Hels saw me making the red one for Lou and BEGGED me for one, not knowing that I had already made her the green one.
Merry Christmas to all my blogger friends!
Have a wonderful Christmas!! Warmly The Dawkins Family!!
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas. I love reading about your life with your girls. It gives a mother of two little ones great hope.
Merry Christmas, Sarah!
Sometime after the holidays, can you let me know the pattern for the tomtens in this post (or share the link)? I would love to have those peeking out of Father Christmas's stockings next year... its never too early to plan!
Been enjoying the season through the eyes of my favorite blogging VTer!
I love the little tomtens! They are beautifully done. And what a lovely menu you have planned. Stay cozy and enjoy!
Merry Christmas! Your menu sounds delicious.
Merry Christmas!
We'll be expecting a tray of leftovers. ;)
Merry Christmastide Sarah! Your food all sounds delicious:-)
Oh I LOVE the little gnomes. Merry Christmas, from me and mine to you and yours Sarah.

Merry Christmas! I somehow also managed to make a successful bûche de noël, even without supervision :-)
The pattern for the little tomtens is included on the Alan Dart pattern. The link is in the previous post.
I LOVE those 2 little guys...I want to make one right now!
Thanks for the link again, Sarah! I just got my pattern in the (e) mail, and can't wait to get started on next year's presents... sometime this summer. cheers!
