We actually did some grilling even though it was only about 10 degrees outside. The women did a cookie exchange. We’ve got cookies for the next week. Yummy!

It was neat being with people from other countries…there were people from America, Czech Republic, The Netherlands and Bulgaria. Check out a few photos we put up…
