A sunny snow day

We awoke to about 5 inches of snow, but the sun was out and with the snow on the ground it was very bright, we needed sun glasses.  We showed Russie and Cheri the way to walk to the market and the open air market.  It was a cold walk but it was not unbearable, and by the time we were coming back to the apartment I hardly noticed the wind. We went to visit the kids around 3:30 and were there until about 7.  That was a long visit, last week were had to leave at 6:20.  Because it had snowed all the kids wanted to play in the snow, or bring a handful inside to try to put down someones back. I should not say all, mostly it was our Vika.  She had me go outside with her and take a picture of her and Autur lying in the snow - it made me cold looking at them! When we went to leave there was a young boy outside waiting for a snow ball fight. Mick, Russie, and several of the other kids (boys and girls) had a good battle.  A few of the younger girls that kidnapped Mick the other evening were watching from an upstairs window.  They opened their window and were calling Mick- Mick!  When he looked up at them they started to talk to him in Russian- I think they were trying to give him pointers on the snowball fight.
Russie, Cheri, and Sveta came over to our apartment for dinner, it was nice to have company and share meal. Now it is late and time for bed, we are both tired.
