Christmas Eve
Today we've spent a fairly typical Christmas at my parents: ate a LOT of things, played some boardgames and then ate some more on/off. Good thing I wore my new dress! It was suprisingly comfy 'to eat in'. I think I have to figure out a way to take it in even more or add shoulder straps, because it almost falls off me!
This is all the LEFTOVERS after we'd finished eating... Like my dad said; "[He] doesn't know how to cook for any less than 25 people at any given time".
For those of you unfamiliar with the Christmas buffé of our family, then I can say it includes A LOT of EVERYTHING.
The years that me and Micke have spent in Turku - just the two of us - we haven't had leftovers for more that one meal after the "night of the buffé". After that, we've made pan pizza. Why? Because some traditions are meant to be broken, and 5 days of eating leftover Christmas food is definitely one of them.
Then, much much much later in the evening, we played the board game "Turtles". I found the "mutogen", so I won the game. Woopti-doo.
Just my biochemical unluck that I grew up playing games that were produced without a lot of spell checks. Or properly translated for that matter ;)
It's a totally ridiculous board game, but we at least had 30 min of fun playing it. After that, we played other things, but I forgot to take more photos. We actually also went to bed quite early...

| So... this year's Christmas dinner left leftovers for at least 20 people. Dad still had more "lådor" that could be put in the oven... |

| This game must be, what, close to 15 years old by now? I see that the English version has some sort of contraption for casting the dice. |
 |
| You move around the board, fighting "bad guys" (översatt till värstingar) with your "good guys" (översatt til... wait for it...godingar!). After you've defeated 3 bad guys with the same "mark" on them, you get to go to the center of the board (the Technodrome) and battle Krang. If you win, you get the "mutogen". |

| Woo-hoo! I found the "mutogen". I won :P |
