AWA Christmas Luncheon at the Ardoe House

Today we had our annual AWA Christmas luncheon at the Mercure Aberdeen Ardoe House Hotel and Spa. What a lovely place! The dining room had floor to ceiling windows. The hotel entrance was so inviting with its crackling fires, the plush, tartan furniture, wooden decor, and carpets decorated with thistles and stags. The food was really good. We had 3 courses that included rosemary and parsnip soup, chicken stuffed with skirlie and wrapped in bacon, and cheesecake with chocolate ice cream for desert.

 Here is the ornament I got in the gift exchange! Isn't he cute?
