Well as I mentioned our team celebrated Christmas in July this week. It was kind of a way to cope with our culture shock and our seasonal confusion that comes along with living in the Southern Hemisphere. The weather treated us well as it was cold and rainy and we just had a great time. In typical Christmas fashion we made tons of sweets, hung out at the house all day eating, talking, opening gifts and watching movies. It was a wonderful day and a great trial run for making all our tasty treats for the real Christmas. Check out some photos from the day!
