Early Xmas, Our Dubistmas 2010

Before we left for Sri Lanka for a Christmas reunion with a bunch of friends we used to teach with in Stavanger, we decided to celebrate Christmas in Dubai a little earlier than the 25th.  The parties began with a kid friendly get together with some teacher friends.

 Bella, Jaden, Colleen and Henry decorate the mini tree. "All it needs is a little love."

On the 22nd, we decided to have our special family Dubai Christmas Day!
 We went out for breakfast at the Organic Restaurant. French toast with bananas,
 and egg specials gave us the energy to hit the park!
 Climbing and swinging in the perfect Dubai weather!
 Al Barsha Park is about a mile from our house and not only part of my running route,
 but a great place to go for picnics or playing.
 The landscaping and flowers are always so pretty.

 Winter weather is perfect for the blooming multicolored bougainvillea.
After the park, we headed home and found...
 presents under the tree!  Santa came early this year!
 Happy girls noticed their names on a bunch of the presents.
 In addition to new Nintento games and sneakers with wheels,
the girls loved their new belly dancer head gear!  Happy early Xmas!  
Sri Lanka, here we come.

  1. Cool blog. I can't wait until three more days when its our Christmas. I really want an ipod touch for Christmas or my birthday. The belly dancing head gear looks really cool. So far in Colorado it hasn't snowed at all. Only for like a half an hour. The grass is still green from the warm weather. I think we're going to have a green Christmas just like you guys.
    Of coarse, Lily
