Halloween Prep

Today my friend Ellen came over after school and we carved pumpkins together! We bought them at the grocery store in town and carried them back home (they were quite heavy). Halloween is not celebrated very much in Denmark, so I decided to bring it with me. I decorated the house so it would be the right atmosphere.

I also made my family a pumpkin roll!

Ellen and I got home and carved our pumpkins. She made a skeleton face, and I made a little mouse. We also roasted some pumpkin seeds for a snack.

A little later, I carved another pumpkin with my host mom. She made a face and I made a cat in honor of my little black kitty Malcolm who I had to leave at home.

I love Halloween so much and I'm so glad I get to share it with my host family.

Now I'd like to say thank you to one of the donors to my GoFundMe: Daniel Lee, thank you so so much for donating! You made it possible for me to come study here and share one of my favorite holidays with this wonderful family. Thank you so much!
