Alex's First Haircut

Mum and Dad had decided that Alex was looking a bit scruffy around the edges so could do with a Christmas haircut. We went to a hairdresser called "kids only" and they were great. They certainly knew all the tricks for entertaining and distracting during the cut.

ICTY Christmas Party

Our last Christmas Party of the year was hosted by the ICTY. It was much smaller than the ICC one, and there was a clown (not a scary clown) who did a great job of entertaining even the smaller kids. The catering was typically Dutch (fries and chicken nuggets) but hey - it was Christmas so we let Alex enjoy himself.

Father Christmas arrived again with more presents (this time in a UN mail bag) and while Alex was happy to pick up his gift while Dad was holding him, he didn't want to sit on his lap again. It was a little better than the week before though.

Oliebollen - This one's for Carl!

After getting to eat Poffertjes at the ICC Christmas party, we decided that Alex needed to try another Dutch delicacy .... oliebollen. He seemed to love it!

ICC Christmas Party

We had a great time at the ICC Christmas Party. There was a magician, colouring, popcorn, poffertjes (made by Stefan's wife - yummy!) and of course the big man who even had a present for Alex.

Unfortunately Alex did not want to sit with Father Christmas, so we had to get a picture of him sitting nearby.
