I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Day. We had a quiet day at home, just us, birdie boy, and the pups. I decided, after reading your lovely comments, that I was going to dress up in costume for the day and enjoy myself. Aaron didn’t dress up for the entire day, but he did join me in costume for dinner. After dark, we went for a stroll with the pups. It was lovely. Here are the pictures. God Bless and thank you Jesus for sending your son to save us.
My feathery helper.
My furry helpers. They made sure that the floor stayed crumb free.
Cranberry Walnut Tart.
It was an interesting challenge learning how to cook again. Since I found out about my allergies. I think I finally have it pretty well figured out. This tart is dairy, gluten, wheat, and egg free and it was very tasty.
Pear Upside-Down Cake
Our Feast. We had roast lamb, maple carrots, caramelized butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, Yorkshire pudding, cornbread dressing, cranberry sauce, and mashed potatoes. It was yummy.
Here we are. We decided to dress more casually, no frock coat for Aaron and I’m wearing a day dress, since we had a quiet dinner at home.
A Christmas smooch…
An after dinner game of two-player Whist and a little brandy.
Merry Christmas… God Bless and Have a Wonderful New Year!

Miss Lauren -
These are wonderful photos! Very traditional-looking.
We sometimes dress in period clothing some Christmas's, while others we stay more contemporary.
This year was a modern year - - perhaps next year we'll do the period thing.
Maybe we can get all of the blogger friends to dress period next year and each share our photos on our blogs!
Anyhow, I hope all go well in the coming new year!
God Bless!
How sweet are the two of you? Aw. ::hugs for Christmas:: The season isn't over until January sixth, so you are well in the season and not a day late. ;)
Lauren and Aaron, Happy Christmas wishes to the both of you! Have I mentioned that I *love* your bird, lol, it is so adorable! You two look very handsome and festive and I'm glad that you had a quiet, peaceful holiday together. Best wishes in the coming year.
