On the 28th of November Bethany arrived in Holland from Russia. I was really excited! Me and my mom went to pick Bethany up from Schipol airport. Me and my mom stopped at Albert Hien to go, we got some bread, jam, and some peachies. Then my mom went to a different shop and told me to look for Bethany. I waited for a couple minutes then she came up behind me and intended to scare me but I was too quick and saw her first! We hugged then who should come back, but my mom. She gave Bethany a hug. As we made our way to the car, my mom talked to Bethany but while she payed for the parking ticket I gave one of the gummies to her she loved it. By the end of the car ride we had finished the whole bag, though it normally takes two weeks. When my mom was finished paying for the parking she decided to have a little talk with Bethany but the talk lasted the whole car ride. When we got home Sadie, Mia, and Abe were waiting. They gave Bethany big hugs. Then we all talked for an hour. When we were done talking we gave Bethany a tour of our house. Then we watched Pride and Prejudice.
On Thursday I woke up, got dressed, made my bed and ate my breakfast of chocolate croissants. I felt good that morning because we were going to a Sinterklaas party (which is my idea of fun!). We went at about ten o'clock. Many of our new homeschooling friends were there. First I went up to one of the bedrooms and watched everybody play ninja. Then we all went down stairs and did a craft made by one of the parents. The craft was decorating a chocolate letter. I had lots of fun. We went back to the house and played games.
