Hello all!
This is a little out of date, but I wanted to post a few pictures of our "Christmas-in-July" party. Since our Christmas this past December was in the middle of summer, my friend Lauren (from California) and I decided to throw a Christmas party in July in order to have a "wintery" Christmas. It happened to be a beautiful, warm, sunny day, but we still enjoyed our Christmas party! We had turkey and ham and all the fixings, apple and pumpkin pie and Christmas cookies. About 30 people crammed into our apartment for the festivities. We put up a (little) tree and made paper snow flakes and watched Miracle on 34th Street. Hopefully we'll make it a tradition!
I forgot to take a picture of the turkey until it was only a carcass. (I did make turkey soup from it... first time ever!) Lauren (next to me) was the mastermind of the whole event and she and Katie (far right) helped us pull it all together.

We had many hands in the kitchen!

We are really enjoying becoming a part of the YWAM community here in Muizenberg. We are so thankful to have a home where we can invite people over to make these kinds of memories! Relationships and community are so important, and our lives are richer because of the people we know, both here and at home. Thank you all for the part you play in our lives!
