Holiday Entertaining

Last weekend we had a wonderful get together with our dear friends. Riley and I decorated the tables and we made a feast for a king! We had the yummiest prime rib roast ever!!! bacon chive mashed potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and a delish veggie casserole. I think it was the best meal I have ever had in my life! Top it all of we had the company of our dear friends Trina and Vince and their 4 fabulous kids! We had tonnes of laughs and then after dinner we went to an outdoor production of Bethlehem Live at a local church. It was awesome! And their youngest daughter who has been home now for a year was in awe, there were times she just watched with her jaw dropped and eyes as big as saucers. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen! To think just a year ago she was in foster care in China! Now she is learning about the true meaning of Christmas with her forever family here in Canada! We followed up our frozen trek with dessert and warm drinks and more fun and laughter! It was one of those nights that won't soon be forgotten. I can't help but be amazed by God and how he loves us enough to put such wonderful friends in our lives! Here are some picts from Nathan's camera of our evening and table, my kids were quite ecstatic about the "fancy"table setting :)

Sweets for our guests. You can never go wrong with hedgehogs!
