My 1st and last Christmas


My host parents got off from work. Kayleigh and Kamryn woke Kaitlind and me up to get ready to open all our presents that we've got.
I was Santa, so first I passed all the presents out. Honestly it took awhile. We had a lot of presents.
Than the youngest started to open one present than the 2nd youngest one and so on... until all of us opened them.
I really enjoyed it.
It was hilarious to see the reactions from all of during we've opend each single present.
I had so much fun with taking pictures, seeing their happiness and being part of this beautiful adventure.

After we've got done. We had a lot of boxes and rapping paper laying on the ground. it was a huge mess. 

[On the picture you can just see a little part of our mess. ]

By the way ... I love to open presents!! 



I got a bunch of awesome stuff that I would never expected.
I appreciate it so much that my host family gave me so many presents that I needed or stuff that I wished I have. 

What I got from my host sisters and my host parents:

1. New Ice watch ( I lost mine and was so sad) 

2. really cute slippers (cause I'm freezing all the time) 

3. blanket ( a really fuzzy and beautiful one ) 

4. sleeping pants and sweater 

5. baking cups ( cause my host mum knows that I love to bake all the American cakes cookies etc. and that we use in Germany diffrent measure. So she bought me diffrent kind of baking tools that I'm able to bake all the american recipes correctly without converting measures)

6. eos ( my favourite lip balm in all kind of types that they've found)

7. all kind of Chocolate ( even some German choclate that I showed them before)

8. an iPhone charger for the car ( the phone batterie is dying so fast ... everybody knows that who has a iPhone lol. And sometimes there is no way to plug my phone for awhile. That's why they bought it for me to plug my phone during trips. It's so helpfully and practically.

9. plastic bottles with a filter in it
( I don't like the American water from the sink that everybody drinks here. It is so chlorinated and taste gross for me.
And I can fill the water bottles up, with sink water and the filter will clear it. So it won't taste bad anymore. )

10. funnel cake maker with a already made funnel cake mix and the recipe ( oh my goodness I ate funnel cake on a fair and I loved it, can't wait to do
It by myself ! )

11. Basketball ( I'm in the basketball team in school. And I wanted to practice so bad. So I've got a basketball to practice for myself)

12. A Wilson beachvolleyball with a Volleyball net ( this was My favorite present at all. They don't have volleyball here. Neither in school nor an outside adult team. I was so sad 'cause I'm playing since I'm young and I just missed it. The net and the ball will give me the opportunity to practice again and play !! )

13. And I got some movies that I like 







After we all opened our gifts we're enjoyed them.

Kaitlind and Kamryn got bows so we went out and shot the arrows. 
It was my first time.


[ I look so serious on that picture.]




 

Getting prepared before shooting 


It was an funny experience. I never thought that it will be fun.


[Not so bad for my first time. ]

At the evening we were allowed to open one present.

Christmas Parade

On Monday we had the christmas Parade in Broken Bow. My host Family an I we're in the Parade with the "Health Care" company.

My host sisters and me were dressed as elves. My host mom was a snow man called frosty and my host dad was the police officer.

After school we all got dressed and went to the parade. Before the parade started we put all the candys we had in our bags to handle them out during the Christmas parade.
We stood in line for a couple of hours. Everybody was freezing. But it's worth it! It was fun!

My whole costume

Long weekend !!

We got out of school on Friday. Because everybody thought it would be to dangerous to drive on the roads. They said the roads will freezes and they wanted to avoid accidents.

It wasn't bad so we could eventually go to school. Americans in the south are really afraid of cold weather because they not used to drive in those weather conditions.

Anyways I enjoyed my long weekend. 
My host sister had some friends over the weekend. We watched a lot of movies and had a sleepover.


On Saturday we had a taco night.




And on Sunday we went to the movie theatre to watch frozen. Kayleigh and Kamrym really wanted to watch it.
It was an adorable movie. Recommendable for watching with the family.
After that we got all our costumes for the parade on Monday done.
