The view!

View from the appartment balcony.

Sunrise on xmas day.  The skiers are staff, checking the slope before it opens to the public.

Where's Wally Antoine?  As seen from our balcony, on his way up the mountain!

Presents and Rasperry Tart!

Here is Hazel on Christmas morning opening and playing with her gifts.

She is also modelling her Christmas dress, made by me.  Only took THREE attempts!

For lunch, we had guniea fowl.  Hazel thought that was alright.  She was much much more excited for raspberry tart dessert!

Hazel Ski Bunny

Back from holidays!  Hazel thoroughly enjoyed herself in the snow.  She loved sledding about, and stomping through the snow.

Christmas lunch at Mia's house

Lovely Christmas lunch at Mia's house today.  Yummy lunch, and present exchanges, brilliant!

Hazel loved the lasagne.  She is mainly self feeding these days.  Can you tell?

Mia was modelling the Christmas dress that I made her.  It was originally made for Hazel, but it was too small.  Mia was the lucky recipient of my miscalculations (or rather plain old lack of calculations)!  Not too shabby for a first sewing attempt and a free pattern, even if I do say so myself.

Advent Calendar Day 2

Jumbo crayons!

Advent Calendar Day 1

Yesterday's surprise - a bottle of bubble bath!

A dip in the pool

Even though it is 1 degree out, the pool is nice and warm on a Saturday morning.

Hazel had a fun time this morning with her Dad.  I sat this one out, and took some happy snaps instead.

As you can see, Hazel loves Saturday morning swimming!

Modelling her new bathers.

Smiling for the camera.

Meeting new people.

 Can you guess what Hazel thinks of sharing the ball with her little friend.  I'll give you a clue.  It starts with an 'N' and ends with an 'ooooooooooooooooo!'.

And splashing!
