Christmas Day Party
[Written 29 December 2012]
Every year, Finnur’s parents host a Christmas Day party with fancy food and a family game of whist. Much like last year, we brought a chocolate cake so that we could sing for Anna’s birthday (and thus claim to have held a birthday party for that part of the family). 🙂
Here are some pictures:
A 9 year old Anna with the chocolate cake I spent the morning making. I’ve yet to have an uneventful chocolate cake making session and this year was no exception. The last time I tried to make this cake, I didn’t notice the creme needed a loooong time to cool so it essentially became a chocolate sauce on top of the cake. This year the cake itself ‘collapsed’ and was ‘chewy’ – but thankfully yummy still!
There was sadly no snow for Christmas this year.
Steinunn and family.
Eyrún’s girls (Eyrún is Finnur’s oldest sibling).
Happy chatting. 🙂
The fancy cutlery out in full force.
I was too busy eating to take a picture of the loaded table. There are the remains…
The kids playing some games.
Whist-time!
Inga with Edda.
The kids got parked in front of the TV so the adults could play in peace.
More card-playing.
We played 12 rounds of whist, and then it was time for birthday-singing!
Officially nine years old. 🙂
Einar won the whist tournament this year! 🙂

The party ended shortly before dinner-time, and we went home and made some grilled ham and cheese sandwiches for dinner.
