Watch out Cleveland, here we come!

I don't know which is more exciting, that Christmas is coming or that we are going to Cleveland. Either way, the total excitement has made this a very difficult day for all of us. Packing, baking, cleaning, writing Christmas cards, and everything else we're supposed to be doing today...they all just seem so boring. We haven't even been able to enjoy playing our favourite games without much fighting. Let the party start!

One reason we're excited to go to Cleveland is to see our cousin Matthew. Here we are in the car together the last time we saw him in July.


We are also excited to see our uncle Rob who recently returned from Iraq and is already home for Christmas. Here he is with Najp and Najm when he arrived in Alaska a few weeks ago.


We can't mention everyone we want to see, because we're sure to leave someone out. Rest assured that if you are looking forward to seeing us, then we are looking forward to seeing you too. Unfortunately, we will not get to see everyone. With only 6 short days and lots of family, much of our time is already scheduled. Plus, Mummy has promised Daddy that we will not overdo it and come home needing another vacation. If we miss you this time, let's be sure to get together next time. Or just come visit us. If not in September, then anytime!
