Christmas 2012

Christmas lunch was celebrated at the Jardim house this year.  It was a very special year this year for the following reasons (and not limited to): the first Christmas in our new home, First Christmas with a newborn, First Christmas with the folks in USA, we spent the day with our USA familia and friends.
 
Our guests
 Lunch is served:
 

 
Lunch consisted of a cooked Ham, chicken on the braai, couscous, roast potatoes, butternut, salad and freshly baked bread.

After lunch nap...check out my baby jeans!

This First Christmas  business is exhausting

Prezzie opening frenzy

Prezzie distributors and wrapping paper rippers

The desserts: tiramisu cake, jelly, custard, apple tart, ice cream, almond cake with chocolate frosting and bolo rei (traditional Portuguese Christmas cake)
