We had a fabulous Christmas 2012. Our friends Renee and Gerhard Plenert came from Saudi where they are temporarily staying to celebrate with us. Saudi is not exactly a hot spot for Christmas cheer.
In addition to the great company, it was the girls first Christmas. Last year they think they got a postcard, and they have told me Christmas was so great because they got a bottle of coke and an orange.
We tried to keep it as low key as possible so as not to overwhelm them but in the days leading up to the big day there were a steady stream of friends and neighbours arriving with gifts for girls until we had an enormous pile of gifts under the tree.

Tamirie singing away in a manger at the church Christmas eve programme She did great, we were worried she was going to turn it into the first ever song and dance rendition
Christmas eve, good friends and German food. What's not to love?

I love this photo. Tamirie is just such a joy of a child. Always full of smiles and fun. This is her gift to her Dad, a water pistol. We thought it would be a great new discipline method and Tamirie seems to agree.
