| Colin and his new skates |
We arrived back home from London around dinner time and immediately went out to find something to eat. It was clear that Christmas had officially begun here because most businesses were closed and the street were just about desilate. We ended up around the cathedral eating pizza and coming back home to check Norad to see where Santa was. I also checked my email to find that Santa had sent a video message for each of the kids. Colin was relieved to find out that he was officially on the good list but Chloe was a bit stunned to hear that she had been a little bad. He told her that she still had time to turn it around before Christmas. She spend the rest of the night very quiet and crawled into bed without a hassle. I know it is a little mean, but it had to be done.
We woke up around 7 the next morning to find that Santa came and did leave presents for both kids.
In the afternoon, we had our friends Hugh, Tracie, Tracie's mom and kids over for dinner.

Craig won tickets at work for a local amusement park, so we went to check it out a few days after Christmas. The name of the park is Plopsaland, yes, Plopsaland. Plop is a TV character here who is like a gnome. It turned out that they were giving away Campbell Soup hats with admission. We needed them because it was cold and windy!!

Most of the Antwerp Christmas Market is now closed with the exception of the ferris wheel and skating rink. I brought the kids skating this week. Colin is a pro and skates with the big kids around the main skating area. It was Chloe's first time and she wore the double blade skates. I expected her to be a lot worse than she was.
