Moving and Christmas

Moving
Ok, so some of you might not know this but I am now in my third host family. Long long story but now I am with a really awesome host family.
So I moved to this family the saturday before christmas. It's a mum and a dad who have two daughters but they are 26 and 30 so they don't live at home anymore. I have met both of the daughters and the whole family is very nice and easy to talk to.
Christmas
Well christmas was quite different this year, one because I had just moved to a new family and two, because we celebrated it on the 24th not the 25th. The youngest daughter lives in Tampere which is more or less in the middle of finland so she arrived home on the same day as me moving in and the other daughter lives in a little near by town. She has 4 dogs. 1 dalmation and 3 other ones which i cant remember the name but they are huge. So it was my host mum, my host dad, my two host sisters, my host sister's partner and me. We had like normal food to what we have in New Zealand like ham, potatoes and carrots but then there was also swede and liver :S all the
vegetables were made mashed, seperately. the potato, swede and carrot was nice but the liver, i didnt dare touch.
We had dinner and then we opened our present. My host parents and host sisters got me presents, which I wasn't expecting but I didn't have presents for my host sisters, only my host parents.
It was really nice and heres a couple of pictures.
