Christmas vacation and Austrian Ski trip 2013


Ok so I spent 2 weeks typing up this blog every night and posting pictures.  It looked great.  Then the last night of the blog I went to add a few pictures and I highlighted something and it highlighted the whole blog and I clicked on it to take it off highlight and it deleted the whole 2 week blog!!!!! ####  I was so mad.  So I am not going to try and retype it out.
So basically we took the kids out of school on Friday and drove to Austria for a ski vacation.  We had a great time skiing and were there through Christmas.  We skied, sled and did a sleigh ride.  From here we drove to Liechtenstein, and then on to Zurich, Switzerland.  We spent the night and walked around and saw things and had a great fondue dinner.  We celebrated a late Christmas once home.  The second week of break the kids had a great time just chilling at home.  They had some playdates, we went ice skating and went to a friend's house for New Year's Eve.  I made my chocolate fondue and a cake and brought fruit for it too.  It was yummy!  Then we cleaned up from Christmas, packed it up and put it away on the last day.
Here are some pictures of our break.


My favorite Alp picture!  It is just beautiful!








 
Our hotel.  We had a family suite so the middle rooms with the big glass windows we had the set of windows on the left side on the top floor- they only went to the second floor.  It was a great family suite.  The boys had their own bunk bed room, Amber had the living room and we had a bedroom.

 Christmas Eve.
This was our waiter every evening.  Tonight's Christmas Eve dinner was a 9 course meal!  It took 3 hours!  Jacob at the adults meal and loved trying all the foods.  The other 2 did the kids buffet and then would go play in the game room or the children's room, or the movie room!

These windows inside this church are famous stained glass windows.  We went in and saw them.

Sean got his Norwegian one piece that he wanted.  I got one too.  They are super cozy.  Jacob got a nice fuzzy robe.
