Since this is one of the first winter breaks spent with just immediate family instead visiting relatives in the States, we've had the chance to think about traditions we'd like to have of our own. I have to admit, it was really nice to be completely separated from the consumerism of December in the States. It was like any other day in the U.A.E. except temperatures have been in the 60-70 degree range instead of 100's.
While it may not get super cold, it does get chilly enough at night to make and enjoy hot cocoa occasionally. Both kids were a fan of that!
They were also a fan of roasted marshmallows. My favorite are the black ones...
Talia made the characters act out the story Papi read.
It may not snow here, but we made cut out snowflakes... but a colorful version. A penguin family made from footprints also migrated to our wall to visit. Talia mentioned that we had left out the baby, so we added a little penguin egg later.
Cinnamon-raisin bread: it tastes like a cinnamon roll, but you slice it as you go. It was delicious.
