We had a hail storm and for a few minutes the ground was covered in balls of ice. However it did snow in Melbourne, how funny is that?
Christmas day was very enjoyable and very multicultural. Here are the countries that were present.
Sudan, America, Ireland, China, Australia, and New Zealand.
Everyone brought something different to eat, some things from their mother countries.
We were at Graeme Hart's parent's house located in Lovely Banks. We ate, looked at pictures from the Hart's round the world trip, sang Psalms, played cricket, watched a nature movie on Australia, and of course told stories. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and came away very stuffed.
A good time was had by all.
Today we are celebrating Boxing Day. Not really sure how to do that so we just slept in till 9am (the girls actually allowed us!), did a little shopping, hooked up a gray water system for the laundry, and watched some cricket. Brandon is watching I am doing stuff on the computer :-)
Hope all of you had a good Christmas and have happy New Year!

The hail was about the size of peas or smaller. Thankfully not big enough to cause any damage to the vehicles.
Meg,
Did you bring anything "American" to eat?
In the group pic, is that at Graeme parent's house. What is in the background, book shelves?
Pam
sorry for the anonymous problems with site.......
I brought chips and salsa, dinner rolls, and watermelon. I guess the salsa and the dinner rolls were fairly American. I have found that people don't really know how to make salsa here, and there is not much of a selection in the store.
In the group pic that is Graeme's parent's house. We were eating on the patio next to the garage.
