Okay now theres only 1 day for christmas...

In the past month the weather has been really cold, and we finally got some snow. Aswell as the snow, we have decorated the house. Matteo decorated the outside of the house with lights. And i put up this artificial christmas tree, which probably took me all together 5 hours... sigh.. it was horrible, but when i was done i felt so good about my self lol.

The christmas tree and the outside was not the only thing being decorated.. Ken also decorated the inside of the house.













In the beginning of december we went with the football team to have our final dinner. It was really nice, we went to this place called the golden chorale. And our coach talked about the team and us players as individuals. :) i really miss being in the team, unfortunately the season is long gone. In the picture below you see me and my coach standing together, when he gave me the trophy you see to the right -->

Not only inside it we were getting the christmas atmosphere.. outside it was amazing aswell.. what wasnt so awesome was the fact that we usually got minus 13 degrees.. which is way to cold for me.. But it is really pretty though.


We also had the winther concert at school. or there is actually two. One for the bands, and of for the chorus department. So first we went to matteos concert, where he played. And a couple of days later we went to my concert. unfortunately the pictures from the choir concert is at matteos camera, and theres something wrong at the moment..
Then at church they had this special christmas program. The ticket was 18dollars. but it was worth every single penny. It was soooo goood! i wish all of you could see it lol. Well i took a few pictures, i was afraid to get caught haha, it was not legal to take photos in there.

The friday when we got the christmas break, Ken hosted a party for the organization of the neighboorhood GRDC. Us boys had to be "ushers" which was alright.. There was an norwegian woman, so i got to speek some danish :) Our job was to serve drinks, snacks etc..
In the picture below, margharit is sitting at the piano entertaining and the guests are pretty much just having a good time.

Then it was finally christmas break. I had looked forward to this moment of my life for so long :p haha. It was really nice finally getting off school a little. In the first weekend of the break. My friend, she is an exchange student from ecuador. Asked if i wanted to go with her, her friend and her family to chicago. And i said yes ofcourse! Chicago was really really cool! im so happy that we are gonna go back to there. First we went to stay over night at her hostmoms brother, and then the next day we went to chicago! . i must admit that the city of chicago is a little bit cooler that detroit.. :) On the right you see the house where we stayed over night.

It was also kinda nice, because i got to visit my second house. you know.. the donald trump tower, and ofcourse my car was parked in front. That was really nice.
I spend a couple of days with my friend Daniela, we went christmas shopping at the mall, and here in the picture we were cooking brownies at her house.
