Here are a few photos from the day.

Thanks for the Christmas cards!

Hi, our friends from England!
We've got your packet with your Christmas cards for us! Thanks a lot! All of them are very nice and show that you are very creative people! It was very interesting for us to read how you celebrate Christmas in your famulies. We also like Christmas and New Year holidays very much!
Your story about your visit to the sewage works is also very interesting. Thank you very much for it too! Sometimes we also go to some interesting places for a visit. Sometimes our histiry teacher takes us to some other towns and cities of Russia. It's very exciting to see new places!
Have a nice time!
Your friends from Russia.
