We started off our 2011 holiday weekend with our annual Cardiff Beach picnic. Normally we do this on Christmas Day but we had a early dinner invite to attend this year instead so we decided to do our picnic on the day before, Xmas eve. We kept our picnic simple with cheese, crackers, and sourdough bread but also enjoyed fresh crab, yum! Our good friends Rachel, Nick and Lily joined us and we all had such a great time eating, drinking and relaxing in the sunshine together.
What a beautiful day at the beach.
Christmas was super fun this year as Finn really understood the concept of Santa and his reindeer for the first time. He was incredibly excited to meet Santa a week before Christmas and asked for a tent full of toys. Santa had fun with that request!
The tent takes up quite a bit of space in our studio though but at least Finn finally has his own bedroom!
Since we are still living in our small cottage space and don't really have much of a kitchen, we were really happy to be invited over for Xmas dinner at Liz, Dan and Isla's house.
As usual, they were amazing hosts! The company was very enjoyable, the bbq ham, side dishes and desserts were so delicious and the decor magazine worthy!
I enjoyed making festive Poinsettia Cocktails for the party.
The sun setting after a fabulous day!
Hope your holidays were also festive, warm and bright!
