Christmas Countdown
... the presents!
It started snowing this week and we had a few good days although nothing like Canada. On Sunday I went out to play soccer with Christian and it was a chilly -2 degrees Celsius. Snow and soccer is definitely a new concept for me! We had about half the people as the weeks previously, so I guess only the devoted are game.
