Mason's Big Suprise!

This was probably the best weekend Mason has had since we moved to Dubai. His best friend, Jude,  from Cairo came to visit for a few days and Mason had absolutely no idea about the surprise. Jude's mom and I had planned it 3 months in advance and no one knew except for the parents. Of course, Jude found out on his birthday since that was his gift. But he made sure to keep it a secret from Mason. 

The boys were obviously inseparable the whole time just catching up and having fun. They got to go to the cinema, the beach, Dubai Mall, and Ski Dubai which was their favorite. Unfortunately, I didn't get any shots of them skiing because they were off by themselves pretty much the entire time. 

We are so happy that Mason got to spend this time with his best bud. One of the worst parts about moving is having to say good-bye to friends. So this experience really meant a lot to Mason. He's now asking if he can visit Jude in Cairo. We'll see;)
