We're gonna host a christmas party here for good friends of the family tomorrow, so I'll try to take photos! But most of the crowd consists of Garry's coll workers from the firefighter station and their family, so it might be a bit scary for me to take pictures, heheee...Well, im gonna go ahead and continue to listen to my cheesy taste of eurovision song contest songs, right now its molitva all the way here (haha i know you're laughing now Huma).

Merry Christmas everyone

Isn't Lauren Bass sweet? We made the poster together and I bought flowers for my mom so everything was ready when she came :) Lauren wanted to paint my moms favorite animal, but I was on my way to go to the restroom upstairs (was about to pee in my pants you know) so when she asked about it she screamed so I could hear her, so I screamed back "her favorite animal is dog!!!" When I was done and took a look at the poster she had painted a duck, cute as she is.

I can't tell you guys how happy I am to see my mom! I have to admit that there was some tears of joy. Yesterday we went to the big shoppingmall together and bought the last presents that remained. And last night we all watched mamma mia! We have been making ginger bred house this morning, here's some pictures of it:







Lauren and I are very proud!! look how we got the icestickles hanging down from the roof, yeep.

Thank you for beatiful christmas cards and letters that I've recieved in the mail and through my mom. I read them all this morning , it made my day.
I wish you a merry christmas, and a happy new year with a lot great moments in the future shared with me, of course!! I can't wait to see you. Keep on treating your friends and family the best during this holiday, cause that's what its all about, right? :)

Now the sky could be blue, I don't mind. Without you it's a waste of time.
Happy holidays and lots of love,
Mariell.

Chiefs game

Yes, that's right! I am going to the Chiefs game in like two hours while I am waiting for my mom to come. I am going with Dani, Max and Shane, should be fun and very cold, even though I still don't understand the rules. Chiefs is like the pro leaguge American football team for Kansas State, so today we're playing against Miami Dolphins.

The time will hopefully fly while I am there, so when I come home I just have to rush to the airport to get my mom :) everything is ready.

Breakfast tiiiime, oatmeal is on the menu (havregrot).

Christmas love,

Mariell.

No moment will be more true

than the moment, I look at you

If you love me, won't you let me know

Guess what I am doing right noow? It's going in the mailbox at the post office tomorrow! Hopefully they'll come through across the Atlantic ocean before Christmas!

This week is all about Finals, I have two finals every day from wednesday to friday, so wish me luck :)

This past weekend was fun!! I went to the Lancers basketball game on friday with Dani Miller, then I went to her house with Luke and Elliot. I managed to buy some christmas gifts on saturday, can't write what I bought cause someone that I know might read it :)

I am gonna clean and get everything ready for when my mom comes on sunday! Only 6 days left, I can't believe it! I still don't know how I have survived without her for 5 months. I guess I am more independent than I thought I was.

How good is it to have a family that care so much to send me lots of christmas food!? (not the clementines though, heh)

And yes, ricepudding is on the menu for Ms. Eikhovd, agian. So I gotta go!
I miss you, hugs -
Mariell.

Christmas events

Time for some updating here. Im sorry that I haven't updated for a while, it's just been so much going on lately; homework, choir concert, christmas shopping, scandinavian dinner etc. Some fun and some that's been really boring, yes I am talking about homework.. well, Im doing alright - only two weeks left until I see mom!

I guess I have to tell you more about the scandinavian christmas dinner! That was a funny thing, I brought Shelbi as my "free" guest, we ate sweedish meatballs, salmon, real boiled potatos, lusekatter( luzycats, I dont know..? hehe), surkal and so on. a great meal!! So I finally met up with norwegian speaking people, and I gotta tell ya, norwegian is getting hard! But anyways, we were placed at different tables with old people that has scandinavian relatives, which was not that fun because the evenning went to talking about world war 2 with oldies, fun fun... Eventually we gathered with the teens, Shelbi even practiced her norwegian! a very proud big sis here :)

We are watching Narnia now, which reminds me of the time before I left home. Siri tried to convince me to watch it with her, but then she went to Greece, so it was Elsebeth who eventually got me into it. I am half way now, and I gotta tell ya - I haven't met anyone who can beat or take my beloved friends place, you're stick with me no matter what :)

Closing up with a couple pictures from the weekend;

Shell and I before the holiday concert on thursday

Family Bass attending a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens on Friday

We also celebrated Sankta Lucia at the Scandinavian dinner, here you see some of the girls - luckely not me, hehe

en liten hilsen til Oda: lillevenn, jeg sender deg en hilsen over mammaen din sin mail, hils hun a si tusen takk for mailen hun sendte meg - jeg skal svare til dere begge!

Du er den beste jeg vet om, prinsessa mi!

Sov godt og drom sott,

Mariell.
