Xmas in July

Well on Saturday night, Matt and I held our first annual Christmas in July!!! We had 21 of our friends over for a 4 course meal and it was lots of fun!!!
I woke up saturday morning about 9am and literally did not stop all day!!!
For starters I had made a selection of dips, the favourite would have to be the spinach dip in a bread cob, I also made mini dim sims (Which were also a hit!) and proscuitto wrapped stuffing balls.
Entree was Pumpkin Soup, which I had to serve in Mugs as I do not have enough bowls and couldn't be arsed buying 2 lots of plastic bowls!!! for mains we had Roast pork, beef, lamb and chicken, with roast potatoes, onion, pumpkin and carrot with peas, broccoli, corn on the cob with gravy, cheese sauce and apple sauce, it was quite a feast!!!
Dessert was apple pie and christmas pudding with cream and ice cream. We even did kris kringle presents, I ended up with a plunger, that you would use for unblocking drains and some glow in the dark naughty dice, it was quite hilarious as we didn't actually assign names, so people just bought gifts to the value of $5.00. I was relieved once all the cooking was done and we decided that next year we will assign people to bring certain things, to make it easier for me!! Everybody helped do the dishes, which was good, but my house looked like a bomb had hit it the next morning!!!
Plus I was exhausted as Will and I stayed up till 5am talking!!!! Matt piked!!!
when I woke up at 1pm on Sunday I turned to matt and said " I want a hamburger!" So I managed to get dressed and went and got hamburgers, chips, coke and 3 powerades and we sat and watched season 1 of Sponge bob squarepants while enjoying our hang over cures. I managed to fall asleep on the the li-lo and when I woke up Matt had cleaned!!! I couldn't believe it!!! We still have yet to vacuum and mop, but that was the least of my worries!!!
So overall it was a great night, even if I did have a massive hangover the next day!!!
