christmas lunch and dinner

i am blessed to be able to have a hearty lunch and dinner on Christmas Day (rather, to have the opportunity to stuff my face and hopefully gain a few pounds *wishful thinking*). this comes from someone who rarely goes out on a fancy dinner ever since that certain someone went off to pursue a dream... just kidding =P.

we had lunch at one of Significant Other's favorite restaurants. we haven't been there for more than a year now, i owe him his birthday dinner for last year, and also for his birthday the year before that too (so... expired dy! mwahahahahhah).

the Peking fan

enjoying her food immensely

this girl would rather run around the restaurant than eat

Peking Duck, baby kailan and beef with ginger

and since Dad was around for Christmas, he insisted on having a proper Christmas dinner. since Mom wasn't well, we had dinner at a place closer to home. Auntie Noraishah joined us as well =). the restaurant gave out teddy bears as gifts when Dad paid the bill. the kids got one each, Auntie Noraishah got one to give her grandchild, even grownup Auntie Enn got one =P.

the starter. i preferred Significant Other's salad than mine

mushroom soup for the kids

Auntie Enn chilling out with the kids. Dinara was certainly in a gr8 mood that day

Significant Other & Dad's turkey dinner set

mine: rib eye steak. yumm!

and here's Dad enjoying his meal =)

Significant Other says Dad makes the best Christmas dinner in the UK, so he's determined to spend Christmas in the UK next year =P.

to everyone celebrating this holiday, hope you had a wonderful Christmas =). next up: resolutions for the New Year T___T.
