My dream in the USA ! : November 2014

Hello:)

I´m doing good here in America, even so if it is really cold... :P

I did Feed My Starving Children with the International Club. You are in little groups and make bags with food (rice, soy, vitamins, and something else) and seal them. Then you pack all of the bags in a big box and start over again:) Those boxes then go to children in poor countries! It was amazing how many kids you can feed in just an hour... I think we made food for 20,736 kids :D

We could make a cooking video for extra credit in our foods class. So I went to Grace´s house and we made an "Extreme Chocolate Cake" - OMG this was soo sweet and way too much chocolate :D But fun to make :D We played Just Dance on the WII and I found "99 Luftballons" von Nena in German :D Julia - this made me think of you when we danced in our pyjamas when we were younger haha :D Love you :*

Last Tuesday was the last day of this trimester- I can´t believe that 1/3 is already over..... !! :O This trimester gave me a good idea how high school is like and I really like it :D It was fun and nice to experience these classes :) I am looking forward to my new classes starting on Tuesday :

Quilting
English
Culinary Foods 2
Winter Biology
US History B

I don´t know if I already told you about it, but I joined the ukulele club in school and I got my ukulele on Tuesday :D

Our Thanksgiving break started on Wednesday and we also have no school tomorrow (Monday) :D

Thanksgiving...! First of all I want to say thank you to my lovely American family :) I really appreciate what you are doing for me. I´m so thankful that you give me the opportunity to experience the American life with you. I´m so happy that we are one family and I enjoy staying with you! <3 Thank you for everything!! <3

I love having you as my family <3

Ich möchte mich auch bei meiner Familie in Deutschlande bedanken, dass ihr immer für mich da seid und dass ihr mich bei meinem großen Traum unterstützt :* Danke, dass es euch gibt! <3 <3 Auch meinen Freunden möchte ich danken, dass man mit euch über alles reden kann und ihr immer da seid :*

We had Thanksgiving at our house and Kelly and her friend Dolly from China, grandma and grandpa (mom´s parents), uncle John and uncle Bill and his new girlfriend, and Janet and Jack (friends) and their three kids came over :) We had a lot of food and it was really good :D Mom and I made Peanutbutter-turkeys on Wednesday night and a fruit-turkey on Thursday morning. We had turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, green bean casserole, cranberries, gravy, buns, deviled eggs, and fruit. We also had a meat, cheese, and cracker tray before. We also had a lot of dessert :D It was a wonderful time to spend with the family :) <3
