Zermatt anyone?

Well as it turns out, we wound up in Zermatt again last weekend :) Our friend Lisa had her entire family in town from San Francisco so she invited us and the Marks to join them in one of their extra apartments! Thank you, Lisa :) It was a great time and so fun meeting her family. We were able to get a little snowboarding in, but thanks to a cold I'd been battling for a week or so it wasn't too pretty! Thankfully I'm all cleared up, Andy escaped unscathed, and I think we're ready for the KPMG ski weekend next weekend!

Andy's Winter Wonderland Birthday

Well...we tried to only give him a birthDAY but it turned into a somewhat involved month of celebration :) We started with dinner at his favorite Zurich restaurant with some close friends....

Then threw a huge house party at our place...which got out of hand very quickly thanks to Lisa's signature cocktails...

And followed it up with a trip a month later (as our original trip on his real birthday was cancelled due to heavy snowfall!) to an igloo village in Zermatt for the night (complete with hottubbing under the Matterhorn, a midnight snowshoe, and fondue)...

Happy 2008 from London

So for New Years we decided to take a last minute travel deal with our friends Braden and Anna to London :) We were there for two nights but we managed to see 3 shows (Spamalot, Wicked and Les Miz) and had a great time on NYE - found a super cute Mexican joint and had some tequila to ring in the New Year! Even got to see the fireworks off the London Eye...

New Years tequila shots!

We really did a lot more than just this :)

The Real Christmas

I must admit, I had no idea anyone was even looking at this blog anymore until I got a few comments recently :) Turns out I'll have to start updating it! We have had a pretty busy winter so far...we started it off with a week in Ischgl, Austria in a ski chalet with our friends Braden & Anna, Kim & Nick (the Aussies), Bev & Steve (more Aussies) and Anna Zwei (another Aussie - we were outnumbered!). It was a pretty solid week all in all - the chalet was amazing and we had a great time boarding during the days, hitting the apres ski bars after the lifts closed and taking turns cooking dinner in the evenings. We even managed a delicious Christmas dinner and present exchange so we weren't all too homesick :)
