A Christmas party with the teachers


We live in a building full of teachers...and with this being their very first Christmas away from family we thought there's nothing better than hosting a party with food and gifts and fun! Some of them even played my new game "Hungry Hippo" with me!

Christmas Morning




I woke up to a wonderful day of gifts and food and family time! Papa and I got fun toys in our stockings! There's no better way to start the day than to play with papa!

Christmas Eve



Our close friends came over to celebrate Christmas Eve with us. This was their first time to enjoy the traditions and they even brought me a remote control car!...WOW!

speaking "phoenix-ese"

here are several words that I currently say that make me stand out from the rest...
"tracticture"=motorcycle
"bonk-bonk"=anything hurt. ex. crashed car, a building falling apart, a hurt on my body...
"buntons"=buttons
"kala"= convenience store (called bakala in Arabic)
"salama"=goodbye in Arabic

(to be continued...as soon as mama remembers some more)...

helping in the kitchen


tonight was the first night that I thought I should help mama in the kitchen (mama's behind the camera-otherwise she wouldn't have left her post making the scones). I was really proud of being able to roll out the dough and make the circles!

learning to push

this is one of the first photos of me learning how to push my tricycle with the pedals instead of with my feet...mama's really impressed because it takes a lot of strength to push pedals instead of just scooting with my feet.

the aspiring photographer


these are some of my first photos. Mama is teaching me the tricks of the trade...and I'm loving taking photos!

our new apartment



We moved apartments this year. Same building, just a slightly bigger apartment. The selling feature was the wall of windows that brings in so much light and a beautiful view! I was napping when mama posted these so a photo of our bedroom will come later.

playtime in Q8




I love to be like papa. I wear his hats and I cut wood just like him (I'm even safe and wear glasses just like him!). I also enjoyed playing with my neighbor Adam today while mama was hosting tea time with the ladies.

in the last few weeks of school...

With only a week and a few days left we start to say goodbye to our time in Kuwait for this year. This photo is taken on the top of our apartment building. I'll be 3 years old in July.
