Snow, snow, snow! I am now experiencing my first real winter with all this white wet stuff falling out of the sky. Having been a neglected child, living only an hour and a half from the snow all her life but never actually getting to see it, touch it or throw it (not including when it snowed in Yack for the first time in 20 or 30 something years....doesn't count M & D!), this is very exciting stuff!The first few pictures I've posted are of the first day of snow we had a few weeks ago. In my naive un-snowed state, I thought this was real snow. However, I was soon to learn that this slushy, half-rain stuff was a half arsed attempt and it would only make things wet and slippery. This did not deter my excitement which I am happy to say, a few snowy weeks later, I still love it.
The rest of the photos are from around where we live and I hope you enjoy them....my fingers nearly froze off in the making of them.
The milestones of this snowy adventure have been obviously the snow itself, my first snowball fight, getting pushed over in the snow a lot (thanks Jochen!), my first snow angel, frozen ears, walking to school in the snow everyday and realising why everyone wears fury hoods instead of just beanies and also, taking 10 minutes extra to layer up before leaving the house.
Other than snow, I have started Swedish language classes which is keeping me busy and maybe one day I'll understand what the crazy people on the bus are actually saying.
A big thank you to everyone for my birthday wishes, I had a great time and I will post some photos of it and Thanksgiving soon.
Next week we are off to Germany to enjoy Christmas and New Years with family and friends so I wish you all a God Jul och Gott Nytt År! Happy Holidays!
