Yesterday, we went to watch Frankie and Eden perform at Peanut Butter Jam. It was the first time we heard Eden play and we were definitely IMPRESSED.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
Merry Christmas to everyone!!!!
We had a great time hosting the party at our place. There was plenty of food and drink, and heaps of fun and laughter. As usual, the day started off so well and ended up with lots of hilarious drunken antics.....as the pictures shows. But all in all it was a fantastic day shared with friends and loved ones.

The Boys...... Foo holding Steve and Eden captive with his new fluffy boxing gloves.... lol!!!
Below, Foo trying to flex his muscles, however he was no match for Vassy. Actually, they are a very loving couple.... honest!!!!
Foo and Vassy showing it's not all blood and tears, but making up that's the best part of it.....lol!!!
Below, Eden showing why he's the guru of style and class. While Frankie, afraid people will associate her to Eden, looks for a place to hide. There's no-where to hide girl..... face it, your stuck with him. I'll pray for you... hehehehe.
Even Adrianne, thought the way we adults behaved all night was silly and very funny.
Then the cards came out. Somehow it hadn't occurred to these guys that people just don't play cards on their foreheads..... especially when there is so much glass at our place, making it so easy to cheat. 
Of course, Christmas isn't Christmas without a game of charades. Frankie and I made a great team. While Steve and Eden left us in stitches, especially Eden's "pilgrim" descriptions.

Dubai Ski Slope
We finally went to find out if the Dubai Ski Slope was all it was hyped up to be. "'WE HAD A BALL". Granted, there were only 2 runs and smaller than the real ski slopes, but these were preludes to more exciting skiing holidays to come. Just to be able to snow ski in the middle of Dubai's hot sandy desert conditions is amazing.
(Left picture- view looking down to the bottom of the slope) (Right picture-view looking up the slope)
Eden, Steve and I were at the ski slope from 8-10pm and left blazing trails on the ski slopes. We left everyone else in our dust.
On one of the trips down, Eden fortunately had the foresight to skillfully jump with his snowboard still on when Steve came ploughing down the mountain forgetting how to slow down.
It was a very close moment, there could have been blood and tears...hehehehe! Someone was told off by the slope marshall for speeding.....I wonder who?????
Surprisingly, the ski slope was very well organised. Beginning to end the entire experience was very smooth. Luckily for us there wasn't that many people skiing, so we pretty much had the slopes to ourselves.
Judging by the faces on the boys, I think they had a great time!!!

Friday with Friends
Another night out at PeanutButter Jam last friday. A relaxed evening with old and new friends listening to all the Jazz bands doing their thing.
At the end of the evening Steve was up to his old antics again. He managed to convince himself he was superman and executed a perfect 10 dive onto the mountain of beanbags. However the landing wasn't so perfect...hehehehe!

Back to School
For all those who were wondering....no we're not going back to study. DESS (Dubai English Speaking School), where Natalie works yesterday had their yearly fundraising fete and we were there to show our support. But really, we just wanted to be BIG kids again, eat hotdogs and go on the bouncy castle (Steve more than I).

Girls Nite Out!
Girls night out is when we ladies get the chance to leave our husbands and kids at home and get to enjoy a night out drinking lots, eating lots and chatting and laughing non stop. We got the chance to do this again last Sunday at Traders Vic at the Madinat.
This lovely ritual started off with 3, Vassy, Frankie and I. We decided to get together without the boys and realised before we knew it, we had sat down at 8pm and chatted non-stop until midnite. Boy did we have a great time!!! This night out we welcomed a Dubai new comer, Anke. Who I hope also had a great time. So girls.....when's the next night out?

Christmas is almost here!!!
Christmas is one of the best times of the year. Where we can all be children again and get caught up in the whole atmosphere. Where we can eat food we normally wouldn't eat during the year and drink copious amounts of alcohol until we pass out. And not to forget remembering loved ones as we open our presents on Christmas Day morning.
We were eager to get all the christmas decorations up. So we trotted of to Karama to purchase all our decorations and of course our 7ft high tree. To make a special evening of it, we popped a Christmas CD on and sang along to the christmas songs while sipping our gin and tonics as we made pitiful attempts at decorating the tree. Not enough practise....I say!!!
Luckily we had two extra little helpers. And Santa even put in a surprise appearance. (Does anyone recognise the nose?)
