Asia and Eden at Sakkara on Christmas Eve day

The whole family group shot at the step pyramid of Sakkara

 
Eden at Sakkara (L) and Asia inside the Red Pyramid at Dahshur (R).  Asia was very brave to go
down into this pyramid.  She was great.

Some particularly cool hieroglyphics at the tombs of Sakkara.  On the left, what I call the "hag" hieroglyph and
on the right, a hieroglyph showing a man hunting antelope with a hunting dog.

Eden and Asia getting ready for the Nutcracker Ballet in Cairo.  Rachel took the girls to the ballet.
Maggie brought the beautiful dresses for the girls from London.

 
The girls had a great time but were very tired.

Though she didn't go to the ballet, India did get the dress!
