Last day at german. Today was the day when we had to say good byes to our family. But before that i wake up and ate breakfast. Then i already said goodbyes in home because Antonia was sick. And we walked to train station. In station everyone said their goodbyes wich was a sad moment. Then in Hamburg we got time to do shopping for long time. I bought souvenirs to my friends here. After maybe 4 or 5 hours shopping we took the subway to airport. I didn't buy anything there but all of us did eat in mcdonalds before flight. In flight i think everyone hated us because we shouted and laughed a lot. Finally we flown back to Helsinki were we had bus to take us kotka were my dad took me home.

Winter days
When it's shrovetide we usually make and eat shrove buns. They are buns which has usually cream and jam between them. But otherwise shrovetide is an ordinary day for us. There is also epiphany. And I'm not sure but i think it's like christmas ending day. Im my family there is nothing special happening at epiphany except if we have not already taken the Christmas tree off we take it.
Our christmas
Our crhistmas traditions are not very special. We usually go to christmas sauna. After that we meet our grandparents and eat. In the evening we eat dessert and open gifts.
Our christmas food is usually ham, fish and diffrent kind of casseroles like carrot casserole and potato casserole. I don't really like any casseroles but i like everything else. For dessert we make parfait which is seasoned with cinnamon, ginger and carnation. And we also have cone cake.
These are only pics i remember to take in middle of christmas for this blog. This is the seasoned parfait.
And this is the cone cake.

This trip is also my first time flying. i have only been in Sweden and Estonia. I'm very excited of this trip. Just for you to know, i have very annoying big brother.
So this is my masterpiece. I made a gingerbread house for christmas. I do a gingerbread house every year. I made this house because i like baking and i like taste of gingerbread. I also like cooking but i never take a picture of the finished food.
