News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
It was a very merry Christmas this year! We spent three days at Julie and Eric’s over in Bahrain along with Grandma Ellen and Grandpa Art (and Lucy and Willa). Christmas eve we had the traditional fondue and Christmas day after opening presents we had a feast with both kinds of roast beast (ham and turkey).
Crystal has a small point-and-shoot that I just downloaded the pictures off of. Some turned out quite well so I’m including a batch of them here and that will be it for the Christmas pictures. Hopefully by the next post I’ll have some pictures of our new house ready to go–we hope to start moving in the next couple of weeks.
After the big meal in Arlington we headed up to Spooner for a dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Jacobs.
Christmas Eve we headed down to Arlington, Minnesota to spend some time with Crystal’s family. We did Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Wiemann’s where we had a great dinner with family. Kai and Nora tracked Santa on the NORAD site and then put out cookies and made some of our now traditional reindeer oatmeal. To make reindeer oatmeal you start with some oats but then anything can go in. Kai and Nora get to choose the spices and do all of the mixing. Christmas morning Kai was up early but Nora wouldn’t leave the bedroom unless she was holding my hand in case Santa was still there. It turns out Santa brought all the gifts to Lea Ann and Steven Post’s house so we headed over there still in our pajamas and opened presents from Santa.
