Ok, I am back and blogging once again. Sorry for the pause! Life has been busy busy busy!

As I said in my previous post we were off to Davos for another fabulous ski holiday. We joined our friends Peter and Pippa plus their extended family for a New Year fondue extravaganza and many very cold days of skiing on powdery snow. As usual, we ate and drank a bit too much the whole week but, hey, what are the holidays for anyway? Click here and you can take a peek at our photos from the week.

New Year's Day was spent skiing with the kids, exercise is best way to get over a hangover.... That evening all of the adults drove out of the city of Davos parked the cars, then hiked 45 minutes up a mountain to a very cozy rustic chalet, in other words, no electricity, where we had the best cheese fondue ever with a few too many shots of kirsch. As the evening drew to a close, we took a scary toboggan ride down the mountain in the pitch dark, the only light we had was stars or the miner's lights on our heads, which only kept falling when you hit a bump and blinding me anyway! I will admit I screamed to whole way down the trail! I was never one for uncontrolled speed!

Sarah excelled in her skiing this year! She is actually in a higher level class than Anna, meaning she skis much faster than her sister, much to Anna's delight. You can just imagine the bickering that went on at the end of day every day.... Anna is very competitive and has a million reasons why Sarah is faster than her. Oh vey!

Ciao!
