Christmas Lunch !

The guests started to arrive ~12.30pm.

Hubby bought a can of snow spray & used it on the mirror to create a snowy effect.
Here's the finger food, Chili Tuna Sandwich that I made. Almost every1 praised it (my nose bcame veli the high) although it's my 1st attempt making it...
Some fruits around the house so that guest can just eat them whenever they 1, there were seedless grapes, small oranges, sharon fruit & nectarine.Esther posing for photos!
Esther & mummy together...
Esther with grandma!
Elijah was busy somewhere else... dreamland...
The aromatic garlic bread.I was asking whether Mushroom or Chicken soup was their choice, the guests were impressed without knowing I used these... kekeke... The salad that I painstaking made... with 12 types of salad leafs + Cucumber + Honey Cherry Tomato + Croutons + Parmesan cheese + Balsamic Vinegar DressingEsther cannot wait to chomp...At around 1pm, it was time to CHOMP.
Here, hubby started to open the aluminum foil for the turkey...wow... a big birdie!The 3 stooges!A group family photo before the meal. Every1 telling Elijah to look in the camera...eee... Elijah still not looking into the cameraOur Christmas Lunch Menu:
Soup with Garlic Bread, Mashed Potato, Salad, Lamb Shank & Turkey.
Don't worry, that's only 1/3 of the lamb shank. More in the kitchen, just that dining table was too small for everything to be in there.
Me carving the turkey... Actually Hubby's Aunt did it, my job was only to open the Turkey Cranberry & Giblets Sauce container.After a while, another Aunt & Uncle arrived with their 2 sons & partners.SIL enjoying the turkey... and the red wine really made her face RED later on.Ah... tinggal carcass saja... Hilton has again work their magic & did not disappoint. The turkey was tender and full of flavor. I'm glad hubby has insisted on getting the turkey only from Hilton.
Hubby's Granddad checking out the mini X-mas tree.
Kawaiiiiiii Elijah a star among the guest!Time for dessert! Christmas Log Cake from Hilton too.Esther still wondering whether the cake is real or just for decoration?With Esther before the log cake cutting!Those X-mas decor on the cake can be eaten, just sugar & coloring. The cake was surprisingly good even though I'm not fond of fruit cake. The cream were nice & it was not too sweet. Granddad even got 2nd serving of the cake.Santa Claus!Where's SANTA??!!
Every1 was too full to continue with this Pudding + Ice-cream dessert.Some has adjourned to the entertainment room for the preview of "Dark Knight" in HD. Some just played with Elijah. Some chatted away while doin the dishes **phewww... i hate doin dishes**

I'm glad every1 came & made this Christmas Lunch a memorable 1!

p/s: Thanks SexyLips for making the reservations at Hilton for the Turkey & Log Cake. You r the best buddy any1 can have.
