So I'm not going to make it home for the holidays but I've been making the most of it here! On December 1st (I couldn't wait any longer), Anna, Cengiz and I put up my little tree. It was so much fun, putting the lights and ornaments on and drinking hot chocolate and listening to Christmas music and eating gingerbread and sugar cookies! Cengiz had never done anything like this and he was so excited which was great and just what I needed. It was a lot of fun and a good way to start off the month.
It was so warm in my room (I had to wear shorts!) but I was determined to drink hot chocolate!
Cengiz automatically assumed the man's job (at least in my family) of putting the lights on the tree. I had to fix it a little later but shhhh. He didn't do bad for his first time.
Christmas is so exciting!!!
A glimpse into my messy room.
Whoaaa Santa came!
Last weekend I had a little get together with some girls to decorate some cookies. I had brought some cookie cutters and sprinkles last year when I went home at Thanksgiving and we made icing and it was fun!
What started as a small get together slowly got larger as some of Juan's friends came, and then Cengiz and Bertal came and then some roommates...the more the merrier!
Another Christmas experience. A quote from Cengiz "I don't know this Christmas but I like it so much!" Very sweet.
Next post will be about the get-together I threw last night (hint: over 20 people and the gas for the stove ran out!)
Hey, Sally! Glad you're having fun and spreading it around, too. We're going to miss having you this year, but we'll see you soon, I hope. Merry Christmas to you and all your great buddies.
