Cookies for Santa

We have a family tradition on Christmas Eve, hosting the kids friends and decorating cookies for Santa and  putting up NORAD to track Santa, while drinking Egg Nog and Mulled cider.  We had a lot of fun this year with our friends here in Amman.

Snow Stegosaurus

It is day three of snow in Amman, the largest snowfall in over 100 years.  Last night was the largest snow deposit.  Our neighborhood, received about one foot (30 cm) overnight.  There are no snow plows to plow the roads.  When there are fewer people driving on the roads it must mean... drive faster!  So, we will stay put.

Ramiro, started off walking into work this morning.  When he was half way there the staff called and said, they could not make it, so don't bother.  UGH!  However, snow days with mom and dad are always more fun.  So, we headed out for another day of fun in the snow.

I am going to get you with my snowball... if I could only see you.

Quick rest, snow play is a lot of work.

Jordanian Winter Wonderland

The snow fell all day and all night.  We woke up to a yard of fresh fallen snow.  So we went outside and played.  We enjoyed snowball fights and snow angles, snowman (a Jordanian), and a snow triceratops.  Followed by homemade chocolate chip cookies.

Snow Play

It is a snow day in Amman.  Ramiro walked to work, up hill both ways.  While the kids had a play date. They built a snowman, read holiday books, built towns with Legos, and watched a Christmas movie while enjoying popcorn.
