Sledding

When I got back from the ski camp it had finally snowed! We have hardly had snow since Thanksgiving, so I was ecstatic! Tabea invited over a friend of ours from the youth group, and Elise joined us to go sledding on the hills next to our house. We had two bobsleds with steering wheels and breaks, a traditional wooden luge, a saucer, and a tiny sled of Elise's that we just used to build our jumps. It was really fun!


They took some videos of my unfortunate sledding skills, but I haven't gotten them yet, so stay tuned for more to come...
OK, no videos! But I did get an unexpected post card;

Afterwards we cut up fruit and made chocolate fondue. It was so delicious, perfect for a snowy day, and incredibly Swiss!
We melted the chocolate in a sauce pan and then poured it into a special bowl that went on top of a special candle holder. The candle in the bottom kept the fondue at just the right temperature.
If a piece of fruit fell off someone's fondue fork, they had to take a sort of dare. Tabea ended up having to sing a love song to Max...TWICE!

On a side note, I cut my hair! Literally, I cut it myself, and I think it turned out pretty well! That was not a fondue blunder dare by the way, and I am thankful to be rid of my blond. Long live the pixie cut!
