It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

The girls have been loving their surprises in the mail lately!


Since Josh has been home more, we have put him to work! We got the tree and all the lights outside going.



We had Amber's Ma'asalama last week, too. She had been here for 5 years!




It rained one day so they canceled school--remember this happened last year?! So funny-but it was nice to have a day with Elise! She did virtual school. This was one of her assignments: Talk about the country you are from...notice Chuck E Cheese comes to mind when she thinks of America. =)



Elise had her winter program. She was so proud and did a great job.














We had our company Christmas party. We had fun decorating and preparing for it. 








Claire refused to turn around to be in the picture.




















The company had a tent party (that's what they have here in Saudi) to celebrate the end of turnaround. Josh has been to a couple, but I told him to take pictures for me this time. As you can obviously see there are no women allowed.







Just some fun things happening in our compound:
We got a letter saying some people were using illegal devices in our compound (this is pertaining to phones that access a certain frequency). We obviously don't own them--but it was kind of scary when the next day they show up and literally drive around to each house checking.
