Croissants. Lots of them. Every day. I actually got to the point where I would pat myself on the back when I limited myself to only one for breakfast. On the last day of the trip, our little foursome ate a total of eleven croissants at the continental breakfast in our hotel. Shameless.
The Setting. Our first Christmas tree with a view of the Matterhorn.
First Ski. I am a lame skier. . . . but she isn't.
Apres Ski. Unfortunately, my skiing is not so great, but I grew very fond of my post-ski hot chocolate. Is there such a thing as hot chocolate withdrawal? I have been feeling shaky around 3:30 p.m. without one.
French/Italian/German Mish-Mash. As a poorly-behaved American who travels to other countries and speaks English to everyone, I enjoyed the fact that Switzerland provides the perfect opportunity to showcase my poor foreign language skills. A little high school French here. A little lapsed Italian there. And finish it all off with a "Danke."
Rosti. Potatoes taken to a higher level. I still feel full.
Live Entertainment. After dinner most nights, Ellie gave very entertaining, interpretive dance performances of "The Nutcracker."
Riding Ski Lift with Handsome Husband. Blustery . . . but also a somewhat romantic opportunity for five minutes of alone time.
Fun in the Snow. Sledding with our happy children.
A good time had by all.
A good time had by all.

I am so happy that you and the family had an awesome time in Switzerland! I'm so proud of Ellie's skiing ability and think all of us should go on a ski trip together later in life. I think it would be a blast.
Glad your back! I look forward to hearing all about it.
Looks like your trip was wonderful! Ellie looks like a natural on ski's! Talk to you soon!
An excellent recap! You should give yourself more credit with your own skiing abilities though! Glad you are all back safe and sound- I don't know about you all, but I have been enjoying a new program of falling asleep around 9:30 each night! Talk to you soon!
