Winter Snapshots

Winter has been FULL. 
I hope these pictures might begin to describe what I am just hugely thankful for.
 So much joy!

A group of us from the Church went into London to a Christmas market--food, games and fun in the city!

For my second Christmas in London, I bought my first fake Christmas tree! And my real friends came round to help me decorate it!

Thanksgiving with 80 people from my church community. 
Yes. Four turkeys were cooked and devoured.

My dear friend MONICA came for a visit! 
(us, eating some Thanksgiving leftovers)

For my Birthday, we went ice skating!

This was when I remembered how much I LOVE ice skating!!! 
Being raised in a cold climate has its perks.

Parent toddler christmas crafts!

So cute

Young adult Christmas party!

Oh no! She got the pink turban! 
Introducing the 'White Elephant' gift swap last year was a huge hit, so this year we did it again and the gift no one wanted was surprisingly left in the box of Christmas decorations! Lucky for us, and unluckily for my friend, R.

Youth club gingerbread house decorating! 
Think: Cake Boss, but like, more competition.

Yummy

Christmas Eve at Borough Market

Christmas eve at St. Pauls with my friend from University who came to visit for Christmas. She was a huge answer to prayer, as I was very unexcited about being alone for the Christmas season. 
Praise God!

Happy New Year!!!

Frost--everywhere. It looks like snow, but it's just a huge tease.
 It's cold in London!!
