It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..

Hello everyone!  Hope you're doing well.  If you hadn't guessed from the facebook pictures, yes, it snowed here.  Quite a lot actually!  I didn't have school the Wednesday after Thanksgiving, so I stayed the night at a friend's house Tuesday night.  We discovered in the middle of the night that it had snowed quite a bit, and then again the next morning we had an amazing snowball fight!  It was around 60 cm.. almost knee high!  School got cancelled Thursday, and with a few (2) teachers gone, I only had one hour of class on Friday.  Also, while walking downtown with some people from my theater class, we got filmed by France 3, the regional tv channel.  They interviewed us but that didn't show on tv, just us walking in the snow.  I didn't see it, but some people from my class saw/recognized me on tv!  Over the next week the snow melted and it rained a lot.  That was interesting-uck.
 
What else is new..  yesterday I made Christmas cookies with my host sister, because it can't be Christmas without there having been Christmas cookies. They turned out really good, even though they were depressingly all frosted the same color-no food coloring.  I took them (pretty much the entire batch) to school and shared them with my class, other friends, etc. and now they're all gone!  Gonna have to make more.  In short, the cookies were generally loved by all! 
 
Tonight Dad gave my host family a virtual tour of the store by skype.  It was awesome!  Way confusing to 1, try and translate slightly technical meat processes, and 2 to go back and forth between French, English, French, English, Franglish.. Ahh!  But it was cool. 
 
Have a great week, Merry Christmas!
