Christmas Cocoon in Camden

Christmas 2010 was my first spent away with family. And even though I missed them, I had a good time with my surrogate family here in London. A mixture of Americans, Canadians, Aussies and a Brit too :)

We had some spiritual stuff (chats, carols), some silly stuff (truth or dare, email of death) and some typically awesome holiday stuff (eating TONS of great food, sitting in pajamas and not leaving the house for 3 days...literally).

All these pictures are thanks to Zinta and Morgan. Thanks for documenting this weekend guys!

Zinta made a Gingerbread house.

And we destroyed and ate it. When all was said a done, there was maybe one tiny piece of rock hard frosting left. Yummy!

We lit some candles.

We had a fantastic feast. Everyone made 2-3 dishes, and there were 7 of us = lots of gooood food.

Our dinner table on Christmas Eve.

Erika spiked our punch with beer. Ginger beer.

Me and Mo.

The beginning of our photo session. Don't ask me what I was doing, because I have nooo idea. It was that Ginger Beer.*

Toothless smile picture. Classic.

Girls photo. Check out Monica's face ;)

Joff made a joke right before this picture. Even though it was unplanned, it's my fav shot of the night.

*Please note Ginger Beer is actually not an alcoholic beverage.
