Christmas fun

We found a Chrsitmas tree! There is a pretty funny story to go with it. Now you would think you couldn't buy one here but if you ask the right people and are willing to knock on random doors...you shall find one! 

Kids were really excited about the tree...so glad we could help make it feel like Christmas here! A little help from Eddie is always good too! 

Who knew Santa visited Saudi?!? There was a Christmas bizarre at one of the compounds. It was nice and they had some cute things. Here is one of them...

I mean...how do I not purchase this at the Christmas Bizarre? Classic salt and pepper shakers!

Kids with Jaida and Gaith...lighting is bad so they all look a bit funny. Oops!

Sleigh ride!
