White Winter

This is my first white christmas in five years, and now I realize how much I've been missing out on!

This was taken from my room, and I still cannot get over how unreal it is!

 Outside my house.

 Eating an apple..

 We got a mini christmas tree:)

 Very slippery out on the road

 Odalgården to the left!

 I have to get up a little earlier so that I have time to scrape 

the ice and snow off the car

 Home

 Driving and taking pictures as usual.

 Out my window

 "Gula Huset" (the Yellow House), is next door to where I'm living now.

I lived in gula huset with my mom when I lived in Sweden before.

 My little Bambi visiting again

 it gets darker everyday up till december 21, when it starts to get lighter.

Now it is only light from noon to 3pm.

 Odalgården

 You can almost not recognize the place from summer

 Geared up! It's 12F!

 Probably Bambi tracks...

 Soon the ice will thick enough to iceskate on..

 Red houses such as this one are very traditional in Sweden.

 Oil lamp

 Grandmother and I went on a walk, freezing!

 Shovelin'!..or brooming

 Care for a dip?

 My friend Lisa lived here before she moved into Uppsala.

 met this lady on our walk. Strong little dogs!

 The trainstation

 My school, Katedral, in the snow..

 Kamal, from Kenya, playing some soccer game on the Ipad, while we're waiting for

the teacher to show up for class.

 Adina, who lived in Maryland for awhile, putting her things in her locker and 

going to lunch.

 Some random guy showed some love..

 The school assembled together at the aula which is a really big and old assembly hall where we 

engaged in a traditinonal event called "1st advent." The School Choir sings traditional christmas songs and
the first candle of four is lit. One candle is lit every Sunday, but we did it on Friday, since there's

no school on Sundays! This aula is where we graduate later.
