We've had Greg's mom and sister in town for the past week. Liz has to leave tomorrow to get back to her husband in LA. But Chris is staying with us until the 29th! We've been visiting Geneva and the surrounding areas almost non-stop. Chris and Liz spent Tuesday and Wednesday in Geneva. Thursday they took the train to Chamonix and Mont Blanc. Friday we went to the Christmas market in Montreaux. Saturday, we drove to Bern. And Sunday afternoon we went to Annecy, France.

Greg, Henry and Ansel in Bern.
(These streets are full of statues that look like something from a Tim Burton movie: a bear wearing a knight's helmet, a gryphon, Moses with rays of light that look like moose antlers. But our favorite was the statue of the man eating babies for lunch. I'll post that one soon.)

This was the runner-up photo for the holiday card. Yep, this was the second-best pose we could get our kids to take. Compared to the others ones, this one makes us look halfway normal.

i love the family photo! You should totally use it~ it's so real! I wish we were there having fun instead of in our little cave hiding from these blasted snow storms!!
Merry Christmas!! xoxo
I'm so glad you'll have family with you for Christmas. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.
They are so lucky to be there (and you guys are so lucky to have them!). Again, I am so jealous! Merry Christmas- and wish Chris Happy birthday from our fam!
Hello You Guys,
This is Kelly Oram. I got your Christmas card and found your blog site and read up. Life does go on, doesn't it. Hard to believe that I have taught at Davis for 22 years and been traveling to Europe for 21. So I hope we can hook up in Interlaken this June. We'll be there for two days, June 20th, and 21st. Maybe you guys can come over.
Best to you and your family in Switzerland!
