Today we had a family party with my mother’s side of the family. My aunt, uncle, my two older cousins including boyfriends. It was also their first time meeting Nathan.
The party started at 5 pm when the guests arrived. We served them some champagne and everyone got to greet Nathan. Then we sat down by the fireplace and started chatting while my mother finished up the dinner. There were a lot of catching up conversations and the rest of the family were very eager to get to know Nathan better. They asked about his work, where we lived and what I was doing. I told them about my dutch lessons and our experience with the embassy.
When it came to dinner we had made it into some sort of buffet where there was a bit of everything. Some smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, bread, cheese, leftovers from what we had on Christmas eve and a bunch of other stuff. Everything tasted delicious. Nathan got to taste some Norwegian akevitt, which it seemed that he liked. For dessert, we had some English Christmas pudding with vanilla sauce. Nathan couldn’t have any because he is allergic to fruits which is the main ingredient in an English Christmas pudding.
After everyone had eaten it was time for some more presents. I got a new body cream, a dress (which I’m not really sure I’ll use too much) and a wool jumper. They were really nice presents and even if I might not use them a lot it’s the thought that counts. The guests left around 9.30 pm.
The rest of the night Nathan and I just relaxed in our room played some TFT and watched some Netflix before heading to bed. Tomorrow we are planning on heading out into the city to see what’s going on there. Looking forward to that.
