Homemade food makes teens happy

So this morning was pretty not interesting. I woke up and had an SAT prep marathon. We had an hour and half of English and then an hour and half of math. Then we had an hour of mock practice (we did one English and one math session). After all of the SAT prep we had lunch and then free time. During free time, Sara and I decorated all of our presents for our secret Santa. At 3 we left for services in the German colony. We split into 2 groups and went to 2 different modern orthodox synagogues. Services were kind of boring b/c we couldn’t really follow what was going on but we made the best of it. When we got back I left for dinner with the cousins. We went to Shai’s dad and step-moms apartment in Jerusalem to celebrate with all of his siblings and their families. We got to dinner late so there wasn’t a lot of food food but it was ok b/c I wanted to save room for dessert. There were store bought sufganiyot, cakes, and my favorite, Michal and Maya’s homemade sufganiyot. After everyone ate their fill of desserts, all the mom’s decided to give me the leftovers to take back to Tzuba to share with my friends (they were very happy to eat the sufganiyot). Michal, Shai, Maya, and Itay also gave me a small but cute present and so did Shai’s parents. It was so sweet of all of them. When I got back to Tzuba my roommates were very happy with the presents I brought back. Then we just hung out in our room, watching shows and relaxing.
