Winter Break

Joseph and Faith had a Winter Break for 2 1/2 weeks. It was so much fun to have time together as a family! We had a sort of "staycation," and enjoyed doing things close to home!

We found some fun parks to play at with just our family as well as with friends. The kids rode their bikes and they both got better at riding! We also went to the beach and to the fort...since the weather was so great!

Check out some of our pictures over these couple of weeks...

Halloween in the Middle East

Last Wednesday before the kids went to preschool, Joseph announced, "Today is Halloween and we need to dress up!" I'm not sure where he got the idea that it's Halloween since it's not a public holiday. Stores don't have decorations. Only a few restaurants are decorated. I know his friends at preschool don't talk about it, they don't know what it is.

So, we found a couple of costumes that we have and pretended like we were in America, dressing up for Halloween. Joseph was Spiderman and Faith was princess Reepunzel (as she calls her).

There's a few pictures and videos below:
