Christmas Day - 25 December, 2009

It was very exciting to wake up Christmas morning to see that Santa had found us in Abu Dhabi. The night before we had to leave glittery reindeer food on the roof and the glitter on the number 14 button in the elevator and all down the hall to our door. This way all our bases were covered that Santa would find us. Find below the wonderful gifts that Santa left us. Mine is the picture on the left and the kids follow!! :)





Christmas afternoon we had to test out the bikes in the park. Samantha did very well the first time without training wheels. Now she is zooming. We are working on using brakes and not getting too far ahead of Mom - but she starts by herself and is having fewer and fewer spills. Patrick picked it up right away. He was a bit nervous I think because it was bigger than his old one - but doing well and he is now full of confidence.


Below is a picture of Nana and Grandad taking it easy in the park while the kids have a break on the playground. After a while we headed back to the apartment and then went for a swim.




I have another picture to add but will have to wait till Wayne can help because it is on his phone. We went shopping for Christmas dinner fixings, and came across a turkey. We thought that would be nice - a little touch of home- until Wayne noticed the price. For almost $100 Canadian we all decided that the turkey could stay on the shelf and we went looking for a pot roast instead. :)
