First Snow of the winter

Harbin, China


Friday it snowed for the first time this winter. I'm sure the stuff will be here until we go home New Years Eve, but the 1st snow is always the funnest.
It was late for the 1st snow this year, other years we had snow in early October. The snow is bittersweet because I rather have pretty snow if it is so freakin' cold, but we can't ride our bikes anymore...so everything becomes so much more of a chore.
Little Guy is a Southern boy so he doesn't have much snow experience. He liked it but thought it was too cold. Princess just loves snow!!!! It was hard to get pictures of her because she runs and plays so fast in the snow that the camera just gets a blur.
We went to Hans with the other foreigners on Friday night.
It is like a buffet with kabobs. They bring out these huge kabobs of meat and slice it on your plate. All kinds of things including tongue, Chicken heart, squid, and Normal stuff like steak and hotdogs. Then there is a buffet on chinese dishes an odd pastries. It is suppose to be a German theme, but I've been to Germany and never had food like that.
Saturaday thie kids played in the snow and then the power went out (just like every snowstorm on Lummi Island).
Teenager was pretty sad without the net so she even played with us.
