Christmas Eve Eve

This is what our Christmas looks like:

 
a little fun in the sun
some swimming in the pool
 
Christmas cookie baking and decorating with friends
 
but with camel shaped cookie cutters, of course!
Another beautiful winter day in Egypt. Last week was too cold for me (it was in the 60s. I know, boo hoo, right?), but today was 75ish and sunny so while the boys were baking and decorating cookies with the kids at Maadi House I decided to take Camille for her first swim in a pool.

Now just like her mama, Camille loves to take baths and she likes the water to be HOT, so I was a little unsure if the baby pool water was going to be warm enough for the both of us, but I shouldn’t have worried. The water was heated, so it felt like sinking into our own private bathtub. It had to be at least 90, maybe even warmer. They must have known how I hate the cold water dance: tip toe around until your legs are numb and then gradually get lower and lower until you decide it’s not worth it and just get out. Oh, you actually take the plunge to get the pain over with in an instant? Ugh, not me.

But no need to worry about that here. As you can see, we’re both loving it.
