December 2013..Snow, Europapark, Christmas!

Better late than never!  I meant to sent this out before Christmas, but you know how things get around the holidays!
We got some snow at the beginning of December that hung around for a couple weeks. We bought a couple sleds that are rather hi-tech-they even have steering and brakes! (as there were no basic saucers like I had when I was a kid!)  The kids really enjoyed sledding and making snow angels.


 Once the kids were out of school we visited Europark in Germany, a smaller version of Disneyworld, some parts copied right down to the Epcot silver ball! The holiday decorations were so beautiful and the kids loved the rides of course!






A sampling of decorations from Vevey, the town we live in, and other places around. The decorations here are more understated, lots of white and silver-very pretty! We went to several Christmas markets where handcrafted items were sold and the drink to have was "vin chaud" (hot wine!) I am not a fan of it!

 

 Ryan has been traveling a lot to the US over the past few months-this is him at Rockefeller Center..
 Travis and Savannah got on skis for the first time-Travis really seemed to take to it pretty well! This is in Verbier. Ryan has skied there a couple times already as well

  We stayed here for Christmas which was different and hard not being with our family. However we did visit Papa Noel to help the kids get excited about Christmas. We did have a very nice holiday and it was great to have new friends here who had us over on Christmas Eve and Christmas day.


 Savannah really got the knack of opening presents this year!! She helped everyone open their presents! Travis was so excited about the crane he got from Santa!


 Happy New Year to everyone!
