Since moving to Cambodia we have gone overboard for the holidays. But for good reason Christmas and Easter are not celebrated because it is a Buddhist country, and obviously Thanksgiving and the 4th of July aren't either. So with that we do as MUCH as we can to celebrate the holidays we love with the same traditions we had at home. Once again, we had an amazing time celebrating the 4th of July. On the 3rd we went to the American Embassy for their giant BBQ bash and enjoyed ribs, BBQ pulled pork, corn on the cob, ice cream, and a few beverages. We picniced with a few other American families, listened to music all about America, and even won a raffle prize!
Then on the 4th we headed to our friend's house, the Ohlins, for another BBQ. I made a flag cake, and even splurged on raspberries for this one (berries are a once a year purchase because of cost). And again we enjoyed amazing food, friends, and even some fireworks. The holidays we have celebrated over the last year have been some of our favorites, and we are very thankful we got to spend all of them with visiting family or our new community of friends!
