Merry Christmas

Hello :)

So, first of all: MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU :)!

I hope you had great christmasdays and enjoyed it with your family.

I really did!

Nothing special happened the last week, except that I got little packages or cards from my friends and family for christmas :) i really have the best family and the best friends ever!

Thats what arrived last week :)

So for christmaseve (december 24th) we went to my hostdad's brother R. to celebrate. It was really nice and i really like his family. They made the traditional 7 fish (too bad i dont like fish :( ) but it was still good and they had so damn good potatoes <3! After hours of eating the kids were allowed to open one present - the parents give some money to buy every kid (8 :D) a little present. Really cool, so everybody got a present and was happy. 

I also got presents :O

L. Gave me a bag with german chocolate, a cup and a hot chocolate mix for grown ups^^ soo nice!

And E. gave me two gift cards for the movie theatre food inclusive. "You got two because you are special!", he said. OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS FAMILY!

We had to leave earlier because it started to snow - its freezing cold! But the snow didnt stick so we had no white christmas today :(

So, today was christmas, finally haha :D

The kids woke up at 6:30 and i joined them at 6:45 as they looked what was in their stockings.

After this we moved over to the tree and the kids unpacked all their presents. 

I got again some presents :O

My HF gave me three gift cards (starbucks, panera bread and sephora) some money and a package from bath&bodyshop :) soo nice!!! 

And A. bought me soo much stuff, too. Im so happy i found this family, i couldn be happier :)!!!

My kids opened their presents on december 24th, they drove me crazy so i said ok you can open them today :D

Today comes the family of my hostmum :) she is cooking since 7AM :O

So, time to go.

See you later

xoxo C.

P.S. THANKS TO MY FRIENDS, FAMILY AND HOSTFAMILY FOR THE GIFTS AND THE GREAT CHRISTMAS, I LOVE YOU ALL <3 

P.P.S.

I miss my family and I was so jealous when i saw their tree and decorations :(

And i found a house with a few christmaslights: 

5 months

Peace.

Today is sunday. And today is kinda a special day - IM HERE SINCE 5 MONTHS! Crazy how time flies! In 10 days is christmas and in 17 days we habe already 2014 :O!

                          :D :D

So what happend this week? Not that much. As I told you I had to stay home on monday, because A. and J. were sick. Poor guys they really didnt look that well :/. On tuesday I had to stay home, too, because my kids were off from school because off the snow, which was supposed to come during the day. DURING THE DAY! And the schools called my mum around 5AM. There was no snow until 10. In germany we totally had to go to school but ok :D 

After a few hours of snowing I went outside with my kids :)

Oh and before we went outside we made a gingerbreadhouse :) with german instructions :o :D it was so funny to read my language in america :D!!

On wednesday there was school, so i had time to go to college. My HM took my car (it was so slippery for her car), so I had no car, yeah. Luckily my HD said I can drive his VW to college :) so nice.

Thursday and Friday were kinda boring, nothing special happend :P.

Yesterday I had to stay home the whole day. Again. We had a snowstorm. Yeah. I was soo damn bored because we dont have any neighbours close to us so we really had to stay home :// 

So i spent my time with drinking tea and watching gossip girl :D what a lovely day :D!

Plans for today? I dont know yet. My HM is till foodshopping so i dont have a car but maybe im going to drive to the mall later, just to do something :D

Talk to you soon.

So what happend this week?

Not that much. My week was quiet and pretty good. I bought alle the christmas gifts for my Kids :)

I got another package from my friend Louisa, i was really really surprised!

The whole weekend was rainy and uncomfortable :/

So i made myself comfortable with Gossip Girl, candles and some tea 8)!

We also put some lights on our house, it looks really pretty.

On sunday I went to manhattan again :) First i met a friend to give him some

Kf my presents and he gave me some presents, too!

Then i met Julia, finally!

We made it to columbus circle. There was a christmas market WITH GERMAN GLÜHWEIN <3! We were so happy!

So happy with our Glühwein :)!

And thats the christmas market :>!

We also went to the Rockefellercenter, to see the tree. Unfortunately it started to snow and it was freezing cold! 

The tree was still really beautiful even thought it was soo crowded!

I had to run to catch my train and I guess that running made me sick - my nose is running, yeah!

And all of my other kids are sick too. Homestayday today, yeah!

Talk to you soon.

Hello December :>

Heyho,

Christmas is coming! Yeah! I cant believe its already DECEMBER!! Crazy.

Last week J. and A. had two short days so they came home around 1. But it wasnt really a problem. And on thursday there was Thanksgiving. Thats a day where the family come together and is greatfull for the food and the family. I went together with D., J., T. and H.  to his sister, where the whole family got together :) it was really nice and we had a loot of food! One specality is the turkey. we had two and it was very very delicious. Another specality are the mash potatoes and the stuffing. The food was all selfmade and so good. For dessert we had banana bread, pumpkincookies, cornd bread, etc, haha again all good stuff :>

And I'm sorry i dont have any pictures. I felt uncomfortable to take pictures of the food in another home :/ but maybe you can imagine what we had :D

The next day was Black Friday, all the stores had many many sales and all the people freaked out :D i had to work in the morning but in the afternoon i went to the mall to conquer the crowd :D i wasnt that successfull, but i wasnt really in the shopping mood, so :P

My weekend was quiet. I relaxed :D

Oh and by the way, I really miss my crazy family :( !!

Yesterday we brought the tree upstairs and decorated it :)! Really nice and everybody helped.

All different stuff :D

But I really like our tree :)!

And today i got a package from my mum with all different stuff, i was so happy!

My 'pre-christmaspresents' :) 

... And the chocolate isnt the best idea haha :D

On sunday Im going back to the city to meet julia and enjoy the christmas decorations in Manhattan, finally :)!

Thats all for today, good night :P
