This month Alan celebrated his ninth birthday! He is growing up lightning fast. We had a few celebrations and Alan received a huge amount of cool gifts. He got a new tablet, a semi professional metal detector, a bike, various football accessories, and quite a lot of cash. We celebrated his birthday twice, first with a barbecue in the center of the island with family and friends, and the next day playing a laser-game with his schoolmates.<\/p>\n

It resulted in a couple of painful days<\/a>, but I will try and remember it as being a spirit building exercise.<\/p>\n Right before Christmas we got a taste of the real Christmas spirit because we went ice skating. Half an hour on the ice and afterwards a massive amount of rain made me feel like I was almost at the north pole, well, maybe not exactly, but it for sure did not resemble a tropical island. Ice skating was fun. I was amazed I managed to stay on my feet but I did.<\/p>\n We ended this month visiting family in Madrid. During our stay we also visited Mago Pop<\/a> (Wizard Pop). My kids had seen his performance before, but for me it was the first time, and even being quite skeptical about magic I was pretty amazed.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This month Alan celebrated his ninth birthday!
