I hope you have a wonderful time with your family!馃應馃應
Everything is great here, although it is very cold⛄... Today we are going to see a light show because all the streets are decorated. My favorite is the reindeer!
This afternoon we bought some ugly Christmas sweaters, although mine is very pretty, what do you think?
Tomorrow we’re going to have an awesome dinner. Mom and Layla are going to cook stuffed chicken馃崠, and Dad and Alexander are in charge of the appetizers. There will be a lot of food. We’re very excited!!馃構馃構
And you, how are you going to spend Christmas? See you after the holidays!
We’ll miss you!!馃挌馃挌馃挌
Hello, hello.
Today we are going to tell you what a day with us is like.
We wake up at eight o'clock in the morning 馃憢. After breakfast馃崕馃崬馃嵓, we have a shower馃毧, brush our teeth馃憚, and get dressed to go visit the city馃憖.
Around half past one, we come back home 馃彙and help our parents prepare lunch馃崥馃崡馃崓 and clean the dirty dishes.
Then, Alexander takes a nap, and I, Layla, read a book or listen to music 馃幍馃帳 with mom.
In the afternoon, we go to the park to do some sports 馃弮馃幘馃弨 because we’ve met some really nice kids. At quarter to eight, we come back home by bus 馃殞馃殢because we are very tired.
In the evening, we have dinner, talk to our grandparents via video call馃摲馃摫, and by half past nine, we go to bed. 馃洀馃洀
What do you do in your day-to-day life?馃憖馃憘馃憢
What's new, friends?馃懃馃懃
We are sorry for no writting, but we’ve been getting settled into our new house 馃彙.
It’s sooo big that I still have trouble finding Alexander!! 馃憖馃懄
Below we’re leaving you a photo, but we are describing it for you. 馃摲
It has two floors. On the ground floor, there’s a living room with two sofas and a table with a plant 馃that Layla takes care of watering 馃毎 . We have a TV馃摵, but we hardly use it; we prefer reading the books馃摋馃暜馃敄 on a shelf. Alexander is reading about a mouse 馃悂who is a writer for a city newspaper馃摪 and goes on adventures. It's very funny 馃槅馃ぃ
The room opposite the living room is the kitchen. We hardly cook; we just help mom and dad. I love that it's green, very colorful, and very large. It has a fridge, a microwave, and an oven, but there’s no dishwasher, so Layla and I, Alexander, take turns washing the dishes. 馃嵉馃嵈馃嵆
Upstairs, there are two bedrooms with beds 馃洀馃洀and a small desk from where we’re writing to you. 馃捇✍
Layla’s favorite part 馃槏馃槏is the walk-in closet. Yes, I love having the clothes 馃憯馃憰馃憱馃憳馃憵so organized, arranged by colors… I don’t know if I’ve told you, but I love fashion.
The worst thing馃憥about the house is that there’s only one bathroom. In the mornings, there’s a line 馃懁馃懁馃懁馃懁馃懁馃檯⏰for all of us to take a shower… well, to take a bath馃泚馃泙, but we don’t like that because it wastes a lot of water…
Guys, can you tell us what your house is like? Is it similar to ours? 馃憘馃憖
Have a great weekend!! 馃憢馃槝馃挌馃挌
It has been a very long journey, but we had a great time. 馃憘馃憖
Do you want to know all the means of transportation we use?❓❔
Right after leaving home, we had to take a bus 馃殞 to the airport. Luckily, mom and dad came with us. It was our first time at the airport, such a big place!
After a lot of security checks 馃懏馃懏, we get on the plane ✈. Have you ever traveled on one? There are a lot of seats , it’s huge.
We just landed and we still have a 10-minute walk馃弮馃弮 to our home 馃彙 for the next few months. We can’t wait to get there, leave our things in our room, and take a shower!馃毧
And you, can you tell us what means of transportation 馃殟馃殗 you usually use? See you veeeeery soon 馃憢馃槆馃槆
It's time to board, but first... the suitcases!
Layla, can you explain what you're packing in your suitcase?馃憖
Of course! Since I am not sure about the weather and we are going away for 9 months, I'll take clothes for both cold and warm weather.
For the cold ⛄, I have packed a black coat馃憻, a hat, gloves, and a scarf, and sweatshirts. Look at this green one, do you like it?馃挌
And for warm weather馃尀, a swimsuit 馃憴, sunglasses, shorts, t-shirts馃憰馃憵, and shorts, I haven't forgotten the sunscreen ⛔馃尀
And you guys, can you tell us what you've packed in your suitcases?馃憸馃憘馃榾
Before going to the airport✈ to start our adventure, let's get to know each other
