More Snow

It snowed again this week. Alicia helped Hervé clear it away.
I don't think she has quite figured out how the shovel actually works.

La Brévine

We went snow shoeing for the 2nd year in a row in La Brévine.

Even took Zuco. Alicia sat on the sled the whole time (5km walk is a little long for her - Brandon even found it long this year).

After the walk we joined Yolan, Tidji and Hervé's dad for the traditional fondue.

Alicia loved the fondue.

Who said the planet was warming up?

In the 18 years I have lived here, rarely has it snow right down into Neuchâtel. This is the second year in a row that we are now living this close to the lake and that it has snowed. (still almost no one in the village has a showel - they just wait till it melts)

It had been snowing for the past couple of days.

The kids were happy to get the sleds out and play with them in the garden.

Brandon sled down the hill in the back.

Even the dog was out to play.

Happy New Year

NEW YEAR'S EVE Alicia wearing her new dress
We had fish fondue to eat.

Everyone around the table.

Dessert: homemade vanilla ice cream, chocolate cake and cream pie.

Band hero was a big hit. All the kids loved it (even the big kids)

Alicia wasn't able to stay awake untill midnight. So we partied a bit the next morning with her.

BRING IN THE NEW YEAR!
