A few weeks before Christmas we made a trip up to Dubai and I caught Christine with the Burj Khalifa. This building truly is amazing. You have to book tickets to the observation deck near the top (around the 120th floor). We are waiting for visitors to experience this view, any takers?
Cheese , Cheese and more Cheese- Christine's major food group! We heard about an Australian cafe/shoppe called Jones The Grocerier and in our effort to experience as much as possible, well, we went for brunch. The coffee and pastries were lovely. Scott sampled the eggs benedictand his verdict was "Mom's is Better". There were lots of foodstuffs to purchase, but I was thrilled to enter the Cheese Room - it smelled wonderful! Oh, and I was saying "cheese" for the photographer.
Father Christmas comes on Christmas Eve in Finland. The sandals are a surefire clue that we're not in Finland. Next December Father Christmas may have to find some proper footwear cause we know Taavi is going to catch on.
Suzanna and Taavi. He's almost 15 months here and dressed in a darling elf outfit. - He'll kill if these pictures get out in 14 years. The elf outfit came from Finland.
Taavi doesn't know what to think of Father Christmas - All I can tell you is that he doesn't want to be too close ! Christmas Eve was so different this year as there was no running around with last minute errands or wrapping presents. We decided to have a special dinner of rack of lamb and a lovely bottle of wine. Our evening was enhanced with watching "It's A Wonderful Life" and knowing that indeed, we are living a wonderful life togther so far away. Plus we know that we are making such lovely memories while we work diligently toward The 5-Year Plan.
Love to all,
Love to all,
Scott and Christine
