Merry Christmas!

Andrew and I arrived back to Switzerland on Monday morning from Jordan (much more to come on that in a separate post later this week!) and the three of us have entered full vacation holiday relaxation mode - hitting up the gym, sleeping in late, baking cookies, cooking dinners, drinking wine, and just enjoying each other's company.  Also, as I mentioned last week, Ryan and I exchanged or annual Christmas tree ornaments and below are this year's choices...

My ornament to Ryan -- "Noel" in French means Christmas

 Ryan was a tad indecisive in his ornaments and ended up buying the 3 ornaments above because they had a "Swiss flair" to them.

We will be spending Christmas morning at home opening the pile of presents (!) that is under our tree then we head to the mountains of Verbier to share a Christmas dinner and evening with our good friends and we will ski together the day after Christmas.

This is the first Christmas away from home for each of us, so we are missing being back home and spending time with our friends and family VERY much - however, we are finding ways to make it special and unique and it is comforting to know that at least the 3 of us can be together. So with that said, MERRY CHRISTMAS (or JOYEUX NOEL in French), to you and your family! We miss and love you all more than ever during this holiday season.

And if you find yourself with some extra time on Christmas, give us a call on Facetime to exchange some Christmas joy -- we would love to hear from you to brighten our Christmas -- just beware, you may find these faces on the other end!
