Christmas time!!!

I absolutly LOVE christmas time!
It has been snowing here for the past three days, not hard but light snow constantly and it is so pretty! I love it!
Last week we went on a class trip to Leipzig and went ice curling (turned out I am beyond horrible... haha pretty peinlich !) so we gave up ice curling and most everyone went ice skating which was soo much fun! It reminded me of one time when I was in 1st grade in Florida and my daddy came and picked me up from school (we played hookie !!) and he tricked me and said someone was following us so I had to hide in the car and I had no clue where we were going and turned out he tok me to the Ice Skating Rink! So much fun!
anyway, Ice skating was fabulous and when we were finished Svenja, Maria and I stayed in Leipzig longer so we could go shopping and go to the HUGE Weihnachtsmarkt. Lots of fun and I got the perfect christmas present for my mom! (ps. miss you mom, love you!)
We saw Romeo and Juliet the ballet on Sunday and it was amazing.. I cant really put it into words because Ive never been to a ballet before sunday but I loved it!. Dancing is so pretty!!
This is the last week of school and Im going to miss everyone.. Hopefully I will get a chance to see some of the girls again before I have to head home.
Last night my host mom taught me a German Christmas song haha So cute! Love it!! and we made christmas cookies and I read my first complete german book and understood it. haha it was Winnie The Poohs Christmas haha.. I know, Im a winner!
Today after school Svenja, me, Host mom, and Host Oma are going to Leipzig again to do some christmas shopping and visit the Weihnachtsmarkt again! Im excited!! Lots of fun and reallllly good food!.
I dont think I will be posting any more pictures until I get home becuase I wont be at the Internet cafe anymore and I dont like slowing down my host families computer clogging it up with the hundreds of pictures i have to upload..
Time is going by so fast!. I got to talk to Tom Randolph the other day on skype which was fun!, its weird how we are able to communicate from different continents when the weather is completely opposite.. technology is Crazy! Love it!. Jessica Heeth is doing fabulous in Costa Rica.. im worried Im going to have to go drag her back home to get her to leave!!.. i can relate though.. I feel like I have started a Life over here and Its going to be crazy to have to leave and leave this whole part of me.. I am looking forward to coming back though!.. More motivated than ever to work hard at school so I can have the carreer I want and be able to Travel!!!
Thats all for today.. getting ready to go to Leipzig! yay!
Happy Holidayys
Love and miss everyone!
oh and Happy Birthday to Tiffany Mode and Beatrice Kioschus!! Love you girls!
