Our date night aka 'Shaun the sheep" on a school night.

Gingerbread construction

Warning do not attempt without grandparent support. Last year the kids frosted cookies together, and next year the kids will frost cookies together. But this year I was feeling ambitious and baked and cut out gingerbread, made the royal icing, and gathered three kids high on sugar to construct miniature houses. They loved all 30 minutes that it took. And they will enjoy the next week of taking it apart and eating it bit by bit. 

Santa hunting

Our now traditional Santa hunting on Christmas Eve. We saw 10+ men dressed in Santa suits, countless trees and blow up Santas.  Most people wouldn't expect it, but southern Lebanon has a very lively and festive Christmas celebration.
