My holidays

I spent my winter holidays at my native town, Kylebaki by name. As it is situated far from N. Novgorod, during the semester I go home seldom fnd miss my family very much. That is why, all our free time we gathered together and went skating, skiing.

In these pictures, you can see my family and 2 my friends, one of them is my boyfriend (my mother took the photograph 0f us). As you can see, we was on the skating-rink. The weather was fantastic, snowflakes were going round slowly. We peltingmatched with snowballs, as I skate not so good as I would like, my father tought me to skate faster. That day, we had marvellous time!!!=)))

You know, this winter I passed my first session. I spend a lot of time in front of books and notebooks. And of cours, as many of students I was very nervous. So when I returned home my boyfriend gave me the bunch of flowers and said, "In spite of all exams, you remain as beautiful as this flowers".=)))

Also this winter my aunt married. So I, my brother and my parents went to Saint Petersburg. Unfortunately, we had no time to go sightseeing, as we need to help my aunt to prepare to her wedding. However, I went away much impressed by this majestic city!!!
This is my friends. On winter holidays we tried to spend as much as possible time together, because we study in different cities. We are never borried with each other and when we meet we are the happiest in the world!!!!!
