End 2011 and bring on 2012

Reflecting back on what I have acheived in 2011.
Well moved to another country, where English is not the first language. I have a good job, good principal and co workers. I have a nice house with lovely neighbours. I live by the harbour. I have made new English friends. I have made new Swedish friends. I have more quality time with my kids. I talk alot with my old friends and family.
Do I miss the uk? No
Have I made a good decision of moving to Sweden? Yes.
I do not regret of moving here. I feel I have achieved so much in the short space of time than I did for a long time in the UK.
My good friends are keeping in touch with me and you guys I miss. What would we do without the technology??
My family are coming and spending more quality time with me.
Ananya has developed more confidence here and she has had a taster in skiing as well as learning to ice skate.
Jai has developed skills on reflecting and is fantastic with his reading and maths. He has enjoyed playing ice hockey.
Overall we have achieved so much in 6 months and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
So bring on 2012....

Christmas in Göteburg

Hi all, we have had a few busy and enjoyable month in December.
First of all,JASP wanted to wish all of you, our friends and families a very merry Christmas. We hope you had a good holidays, and Santa bought you what you wanted for 2011.
Looking back now, what a great year it has been for us. We have made a great move to Sweden. We feel we have achieved so much. It's great here. Life for the kids is amazing.
Ananya and Jai are learning to ice skate (for free) and have had a chance to ski. Ananya has become very responsible and comes home on the tram by herself. She looks after her little brother (sometimes!!!)
We went a "julbord" for a chambers of commerce party, where the kids had their own entertainment and the adults could enjoy themselves with other adults. Again, we left at 11pm on a bus and it was safe!!!
The second best party was @Cathy's house (another expat) the wives of AZ employees were not invited to the AZ party so we had our own. It was an amazing night. Cathy, the best party host xxx
Finally Christmas was celebrated on Christmas Eve with my brother and his absolutely fantastic and generous family. We all were so excited to see them.
We went to Liseberg, long walks, and drank and ate loads. OMG I have out weight on... Back to the diet!!!!!
How was your Christmas? Let us know.. We will love to hear from you xxx
