Halloween, Lanterns and Weekend getaways

Since we got back from America I have been very busy. I am going to school everday from 8-2 and then have the whole afternoon to play with my mom. In school Iam learning a lot and get to do lots of crafts. Mom and I made two Jack-O-Lanterns for Halloween and I dressed up as a Bumble Bee. My friend, Emily, invited me to a Halloween party and we got lots of candy and even got to go trick-or-treating. It was so fun!!!

Then in November we had the Lantern Festival at my school. I made the lantern myself and my teachers even put a real, burning candle in it. We went on a walk around the block and sang some songs. My favorite song right now is "Ich geh' mit meine Laterne" which is the main lantern song. I am still singing it even though we are in Advent now!
At the end of November mama, papa and I took a trip to Tirol and met some family friends there. Kathrin, Jörg and baby Anna. I had a great time wth baby Anna and got some practice for when my brother or sister arrives. Yup, thats right! Mama is going to have another baby. In June I am goingto be a big sister. I am not sure I really understand what that means, but I am still looking forward to it.
Right now I am really excited because I have an Advent Calendar and I get to open it everyday. Inside there are chocolats and other small gifts. I am really interested in Santa Claus and Christmas. I think I am really going to enjoy it this year. I am talking up a storm and repeat everything mom and papa say. I am also really loud and sometimes when things are going my way I am capable of throwing a bit of a tantrum. It can just be so frusterating when I can't communicate what I want or need!
I hope that you are all having a wonderful Advent and that we will hear from all of you soon.
Bye-bye!
