Christmas Eve at Leon & Elizma's with us, Tania & Willie and LIAM, started of on a nice crisp and cold night with a glass of muscadel. Then the excitement of Liam opening his presents on his first , then we opened ours and ended the night with a smashing Cheese and wine with snacks and a white chocolate mousse pudding made by Tania - mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Christmas day was lunch at our house. Everybody chipped in with the preparations. Elizma made a succulent roast leg of lamb and roast potatoes, Tania the Hors d'ouvres, Ria the rice/veggies/yorkshire puddings and Willie made the sago/tapiaco pudding. Billy poured the wine and Leon ate the food. What a lovely and memorable day it was. Christmas in the UK is just like the movies. Freezing cold with scarfs and overcoats being the order of the day with family get-togethers.
Then on Saturday night Tania, Ria & Billy got on a train, then the London tube and went to Shepperd's Bush - The Westfield Centre for a site-seeing trip and a bite to eat, lovely and cold but very enjoyable. The lights and the lighting effects are outstanding, well worth a visit if you are in the area.
The food had a strong "RETIEF" flavour, the veggies and roast patatoes from Elizma's mom and the sago pudding from Willie's mom. Cheers to them.

I'm not so sure about the ice cold weather for siteseeing BUT the bite to eat sure looks great.
Liam your Mommys table looks lovely. You of course take 1st prize for being so cute. It is so wonderful to see the Cowles - Billy & Ria (Oupa & Ouma) Leon & Elizma (Mom & Dad) Tania (Aunty) Willie (friend of Tania) and most important YOU - LIAM COWLE (Grandson - son - nephew).
2008 has blessed you all with wonderful memories.
It was good fun! I am glad you don't tell the whole family that you almost got arrested inside Westfiled for video recording...... No pain no gain, hey?
