Ivo and I hadn&#8217;t really had time to go get gifts for one another and Ivo&#8217;s family doesn&#8217;t really do anything. So we opened the few presents from my parents (in my pajamas of course) and then spent the day with Liam. We did have a tiny Christmas tree, which was lovely. <\/p>\n<p>I tried for a little Christmasness with dinner &#8211; we had mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce (I&#8217;d actually found fresh cranberries a month previously and frozen them &#8211; not a common thing here) along with a veggie croquette thingie and green beans, with a creme brulee for dessert. With no working oven I couldn&#8217;t do much else, even if Liam had allowed the time. I&#8217;d had delusions of doing a big Christmas dinner for the whole family, but with such time and space constraints, that&#8217;ll have to wait until next year. I actually really like cooking for people, so I&#8217;m looking forward to that. Next year we should have a bigger kitchen and enough room to seat everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Some pictures of the new family on Christmas.
