MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!! :D

The day starts out good :) Everyone was up around 8:30 am to gather around the Christmas tree in the family room to open up their presents :) The kids was up and running already around 8:00 am, but they had to wait for everyone to be there ^^

(Yes, it's a bit blurry)

Here we have Jacob, Becca and Peter in front of the three and all the presents at the floor ^^

Opening presents!! ^^
They all loved the presents they got ;)
They opened them really quick :D

They also loved the gifts I gave them ^^
I got Becca a note book, where she could write down all her thoughts ^^ She loved it :) <3
As for Jacob and Peter, I got them two Star Wars cars :) They also loved them ^^
And for Melinda; a good thriller book :) She was happy for that :3
And, for Doug; I got him an apron :) because he loves to cook/grill ;D I got him a blue one, and safe to say; it's his favorite color (yey me! ^^)

I also got gifts from everyone :)

I got two books, a scarf, nail polish, an umbrella, golden earrings and a small purse :)
I also opened up the present I got from Mr. Dyson (that I told you a while back about) ^^
But it was hazelnuts and other nuts dipped in three different kinds of chocolate ;) but the thought was there <3

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE :D

Lots of love!

Just got off the Skype-phone with my dad and brothers :)
I just told him about a Skype-conversation that I had earlier today :) With a possible new host family!! :)
When I talked to the host mother through skype; she sounded just right, you know? ^^
I didn't feel nervous when talking to her and from the looks of it, she sounded happy talking to me too :3

This was my face after I got off the Skype with her ^^
She has three kids: one 7 year old daughter and a twin-pair of boys on 5 years :)
When I saw the photos of the kids; I died! They are sooooo cute :D I can't wait to skype with the whole family next time :) :)

I will let you guys know how things go :)
And in the meantime, I wish everyone Happy Holiday! :D <3

Lots of love!
Frida <3

PS: I am feeling much better from my cold earlier ;)

Hello! :)
Went for another 2h long walk today as well ^^
And now, how about a hot cup of tea? Yes please! ;)

Lots of love!
Frida <3

Today I took a 2h long walk. No running, no jogging, just walking.
It feel nice :) Music in my ears, watching every car drive past me, watching the planes up in the sky, watching the birds fly and the squirrels climb the trees :)

It was a little cold ^^ my legs was a little red when I went into the shower, but it felt nices :)
I walked down to Stop N Shop, continued over to the Rock Climbing Club, over to the Boston Post Road (it almost took 30 minutes walking that street ^^) and then I walked past the bank and the New Rochelle Train station, and that was pretty much a straight road home. ^^

After the walk I had a small breakfast and I just got out of the shower ;) so I decided to blog about it :) since I haven't blogged in a while and for that I am sorry <3

Some of you already know, I had a cold the past three days and today; my voice is a little behind ^^ but it's fine! :) it will comeback :) it always do ;) <3
So, I'm going to make myself some sweet, hot and delicious tea :)

Lots of love!
Frida <3

Yeey!! :D so far so good :)
So this is Becca, me, Melinda and Jacob on a small corner ^^

Peter happened to blink ^^ :P
And Becca is holding one of her favorite stuffed animals :) and which she also used as a shield to keep me from turning around to look and the other tables :) she wanted me to be amazed by our cook at our table (they each do a small show at each table for the guests)

And this was our cook :) everything he made was delicious! If I find another chance to go to a Fuji Mountain restaurant before I return home to Sweden, I'm going to take it! ;D
Aaaand that's all the photos I was able to save from my email ^^ the others just turned black or white once they were saved ^^"

Lots of love!
Frida

... To make a delicious breakfast/lunch for myself! ;D :P

All I need is;
* Lettis
* cold meat
* feta cheese
* cucumber
* grapes
* ketchup and mayonnaise

Cut the Lettis and cucumber and put them in a deep bowl, next cut the meat in smal pieces and add them to the bowl.
Cut the big grapes in half and add the as well to the bowl :)

Next up is the dressing ;)
This is where you use the ketchup and the mayonnaise :)

Mix some ketchup and mayonnaise in a small bowl, and when it turn pink; aadd it to the bid bowl :)

Enjoy! <3

HELLO! :D
Two days ago, on the 12th of December, did I turn 20 years old!! ^^
From my family home in Sweden did I get The Maze Runner book (in swedish) and two cards; one BIG card with a few very funny memories ^^ (and I gotta say that I laughed out loud!!!) and in the other card, did I get $50 from my aunt Annika and her family :)

And then, after I and the kids drove to pick up Melinda and Doug at the train station, did we go to a restaurant called Fuji Mountain:)
It's a Japanese restaurant with very delicious food, great/funny entertainment and your own cook ;D

Okay, it seams like I can't upload any of the photos right now, but I hade a great time at the restaurant with everyone :D
The food was delicious and every cook at each table did a small show :)
It was beautiful :D he maid a volcano with onion rings (wow! ^^) and a beating heart with the rice and one of his tools under the rice ^^
It was very funny! ;D

I had a really great birthday together with my host family! :D


Lots of love!
Frida <3

Heeeeeeej! :D
So today started like any other Monday is this house ^^ (I will spear you the details! :P )
The kids have piano and art lessons every Monday with Mr. Dyson :) and they are really good at it! ^^
Mr. Days on is an old man with a lovely smile :) and they way he talks to the kids is funny to watch ;)
He has a good hand with kids ^^

To the point! ;D

He had an extra bag with him today (he usually has two, one for piano and one for art) and after becca had her piano lesson; she saw something "interesting" in that extra bag ;)
Mr. Dusky had brought Christmas presents for the kids! :D (so sweet of him^^)

He took out four presents... Not three, but 4! One for Becca, one for Peter, one for Jacob and (surprisingly) one for me too! I was really suprised ^^ I had to read the label twice! ;) ^^ but there was no mistake ^^ I got one as well :3
That was so kind of him <3

As you can see, there are three things in this photo! ^^
The one at the bottom (of course) did I receive from Mr. Dyson :)
The other two did I receive by mail from Sweden ;D :3 ^^
Yes, the letter has been opened by me, but I closed it right before I could see to much ^^ I guess I should open it on my birthday on Friday ;) I even added; "öppnas ej före 12/12/14"

As for the brown packet, I don't know when to open ^^ On my birthday or on Christmas?? ^^
I hope the one who sent it could tell me? :3

ANYWAY! Good night everyone! :D

Lots of love!
Frida <3
