Christmas Time

Our first Christmas in Qatar will be one to remember. Brendon got a call to say that our shipment from The Netherlands had arrived and would be delivered on Christmas morning. What joy at the thought of our household goods arriving. On Christmas morning we opened our presents and then Brendon set off at 7am to meet the delivery at the villa. He was given strict instructions to report back to me on the condition of our goods. I was filled with joy and anxiety at the same time. Happy to see our things again but anxious as I was afraid they would arrive in 1000 pieces like our first relocation experience. I had already started packing up the apartment in anticipation of our move to the villa

During the day Owen, Erin and I went to the play area, ate, slept and waited for the telephone calls. Brendon reported back that all was going well and that there was minimal damage. He arrived home in the time to have a Christmas dinner of Pizza with Owen and I! We then all bundled into the car and spent Christmas night in our own beds in the villa.
