Merry Christmas!

My parents came in on seperate flights than me. My Dad came in on ArkeFly Friday afternoon and my Mom and brother came in that same evening with KLM. I of course was in Curaçao. I asked Junior my brother to take some pics, when they arrived in Aruba. I'd like to share them:

The first thing I do when I am in Aruba is go and buy a SIM card for my GSM. Anyone who knows me, knows how important I find it to be in-touch. Of course I can roam, with my T-mobile card, but that's too expensive. So my provider this time is Digicel.

Saturday I helped my grandparents around the house in preparation of the X-mas dinner they are having. It's tradition within my family that X-mas, we eat at oma and opa. It has been a long time for me, because I wasn't in Aruba the last 4 years for X-mas... I always come for carnaval.

Mom, tante Grace and my cousin Jeandrina (I'm using her PC). My Mom is a real business woman and always has to be in-touch like me. This you can see, because she is constantly walking around with her headset for her GSM

Of course I was helping out as well

On X-mas day we were busy prepping for the dinner. It was great. Food was good, family was there and we had a good time with lots of laughs. I find my friends and family very important.
