The kids got a kit to make mini gingerbread houses in their stocking from St. Nick. We spent the afternoon making a little village.
Enjoy :)

{Sledding-Asiago} 12 Dec 2010

We took the kids sledding up in Asiago @ Albergo Miramonti. We rented sleds and had a great time. There is a ski area there too--we'll ski there at some point this winter. The slopes are perfect for the kids (who haven't skied in a couple of years).



we rode up, instead of walking :)

Kieran and me--she is also old enough to go by herself.

We went up again this past Sunday. It was cloudy, cold and snowing lightly. We had another fun Sunday sledding.

Enjoy :)

{Vicenza Middle School Winter Concert} 9 Dec 2010

Mark and the band did a fabulous job performing in their winter concert. Mark is doing really well playing the trumpet. What's really impressive is that most of the students didn't know how to play their instruments at the beginning of the year. They worked hard and it definitely paid off---beautifully!

Enjoy :)
