Mince Pies and Mulled Wine


oh what fun was had today

I baked all last night in preparation

then at 1pm the guests arrived
nibbles and mulled wine

mince pies and lemon cake

lots of chocolate cake

the children decorated gingerbread Christmas tree biscuits

we laughed and reminisced, then all too soon
it started to go dark and the children were getting sleepy
and it was time to say goodbye

PS. I do hope everone will join me in Kathy's Christmas A-Z?

    You will not believe it but our sideboards are almost identical! Mine belonged to Mamas and Grandiwad and when the handles rattle I am transported back to their home. Your event sounds lovely. xxxxx

    Those home baked minced pies look delicious Lyn. The little face with chocolate lips tells me that this little person had a lovely time! x

    That's a lovely scene, children, mince pies and mulled wine (although I have to keep mine out of reach of teenage boy who glugs it at any chance)... your mince pies look really professional.

    Such yummy holiday goodies. You must have been quite busy. I do hope that you don't think that I have forgotten you. I have been very busy with work; now I can sit and read my blogs and comment.

    Looks like you had a wonderful time. Your food looks very tempting! I'm going to try and get as many photos as I can for the A-Z but it is going to be a huge challenge:)
