We celebrated christmas todaay! because we're going to Mexico over the holiday :) 
Ryan came over with his kids and we opened presents. Addy got a big doll house that Greg built, ALL BY HIM SELF. It was so awesome, and all the small details were so cute! She loved it. She also got all the furniture to it. Branton got a computer and he was crazy about it! He even have the new Windows 8. 
I got money, a gift card to the movie theater, jewelry, adapters to the power outlets from Chris 'cause I stole his heheh, and a memory card for my phone. 
Greg has a special thing every year, everybody goes treasure haunting! you get a clue, that lead you to another clue, that lead you to another one and so on til you find your treasure. It was so funny! He hide a clue under my chair in the bedroom and I was like: WHEN DID YOU PUT IT THERE? 
hope you all are having a good time in Sweden, xoxo
 
 
It's oveeer, we did it! and we didn't suck! 
After school me, Rachel and Harley went home to Rachel to fix us before to concert. Then we went back to the school, wormed up with all the other choirs and got ready. There are five choirs at our school, I'm in Hip Street (singing and dancing). 
The first number of the concert we had to wear outdoor clothes and all the choirs sang together. Right after that we had our three songs, Hallelujah, Santa's in the house, Rockin' on a christmas eve, and then we were almost done. We just had to wait until the end of the concert and do opening number again with all the warm clothes. We could watch the other choirs performans on the little TV down in the room where we changed. 
The last picture is of 4 members of New Dimension, the best choir at the school. THEY ARE AWESOME! 
 
 
 
 
 
The time is now 10 pm and I'm hoooome! 
WE WON AGAINST LN! it was crazyyyy!! There were so many people there and they screamed and cheered, funniest thing ever! We did the dance that we'd practice and everything, I didn't mess up that bad :D haha and rehearsal went so much better than last time, we're getting there. 
xoxo
 
Today I had to stay at school to 8 pm! Jeees, I'm exhausted. First we had rehearsal with the choir in the auditorium and then cheer practice. TOMORROW IS THE LN V LC GAME! It's gonna be so biig, LC are like our "enemies" so if we win this game I'm going to be so happy! (LC is another school) 
But I need to study for the final week so I'm not crashing to bed just yet!!

Hannah came over today! We had to make a lantern for spanish class. If we did we got 1% extra credit on our grade. You filled an aluminium can with water an froze it during the night, then you could make patterns on it with a hammer and a nail. I made a cross and a christmas tree on mine :DDD haha, they are so ugly. 
Then we had a game at 2 and of course both our JV and Varsity team won! 
 
 
Today there was a basketball game downtown and me an Payton bought tickets through the choir. GOSH, thoose seats sucked... couldn't see anything and it was so steep I was scared I would fall down when I was sitting. We took our free T-shirt and hot dog and went to the mall instead. We went to the arcade and played a bunch of games. It was so fuuun!! and the we went out to the big "christmas tree". So now I have finally been down town and seen the high buildings :)
xoxo
 
Funny pictures hihi! 
But today we had out first rehearsal for our christmas concert. All the choirs were there to learn the opening number, 125 students. It was loud and warm, just crazy. It turned out good though. The rehearsal didn't start until 6 pm so I went home to Rachel in between to study a bit. She had sooo many pets: 3 dogs, 3 cats, 1 bird and 2 ferrets. She also has a horse but not at home lol. We didn't get much of our homework done, we talked most of the time. Then we went back to school and I stayed after after the rehearsal with my friend Anastazie 'cause there was a band concert that day too, and her boyfriend is in the band. So now I'm finally home and I'm going to bed!
night xoxo 
 
YAAY! Mom and dad sent me some caaandyyyy!! <3 Paradis chocolate box, gingerbread and a cross-word magazine. The dot over the "i", as we say in Sweden. BEST-PARENTS-EVER.
I told the family here that they had to finish the first layer of chocolates before they moved on to the next one (they don't have stuff like that here) and everyone was like: why? It's an unwritten rule! But they loved it, Deaul was amazed! she was like: OMG BEST CHOCOLATE I'VE EVER HAD!!! All that's missing now is the christmas music. No one listens to christmas music in our house :( like seriously... WHERE'S THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT?! they don't even have a radio... so I sit in my room and listens to it by myself!   
 
Today was Daeul's birthday! I gave her a scarf because it's getting colder and she got money from Greg and Minerva :)
To celebrate her we ate at a place called Stir Crazy. They made the food in front of you and you could pick anything you wanted: chicken, beef, vegetables, sauce, anything you wanted. It was soooo good! Wanna go there again!! Then "the restaurant" gave Daeul a dessert because Greg told them it was her birthday. That's so kind. 
xoxo
 
So today we had the first basketball game!! I was actaully really nervous before but as soon as you got out there it just disappered. It was so fun :) we finally won, 82-46. Go Cats!
