Christmas

I stayed up until around 4 last night/this morning skyping with my family and then my internet eventually quit for some unknown reason so I went to sleep.  Then my host dad woke me up around 12 to get ready to go to his mom’s house for lunch.  

When we got there, we went straight downstairs again to eat.  We ate a ton of food as usual and then we played bingo.  It was really fun and I ended up winning five euros!

Around 4:30 we went home and I got straight on skype because I was hoping that my sister hadn’t opened her Christmas presents yet because it was only 7:30 in the morning there.  While I was waiting for her to answer my message, I skyped with my dad for a little bit.  Then my sister skyped me.  They were just beginning to open presents so I got to watch them and talk with them the whole time. It was really cool.

I had dinner between all this skyping and I gave my host parents their present.  They really loved it and it made me happy.

Then I skyped with Emma for a while and after that, with my aunt, uncle, grandparents, and cousin.  It was so nice to see all of them!  I talked with them for a long time and then the power in my house went out.  I want to watch a movie, but I don’t know how long my computer is going to last without being plugged in. We’ll see.

Ciao!
