Charly's 6th Birthday Party

Hello All

Charly had a great 6th birthday party. The sun came out and we all had an excellent time tobogganing in Kirchberg. We did the run 3 times with a hot chocolate stop in the middle. You can catch the chairlift up so not hard for the kids and great fun coming down. Crashes and races all over the place. There were about 16 kids with Mums so all in all a large bunch !

Oma Hilda made the "Rehrucken" cake and it was gorgeous ! The pizza dinner at Pizza Per Tutti with the kids was great and talk about no hassle and mess - might have to do something similar from now on. No stress at all !

Charly got a heap of pressies with lots of pre-school books with writing and maths and reading stuff too which she just loves doing. Lots of stuff like painting by numbers, a new rubbish bin for her homework corner (desk still to come), weaving and knitting stuff and lots more ! She was thrilled with everything.

She got a watch from us and a few other little goodies (inc. her first boy band CD). Also a lovely gold heart pendant from Oma and Opa in New Zealand which fits perfectly and she wears it all the time now. Ada and Opa gave her some flute lessons and Ada managed to come to the party - Peter didn't as usual which was a pity again. A pity because if Mum and Dad could be here they would be at absolutely everything Charly did - never mind !

Here are some pikkies:


















Sending love and kisses to you all !!!

Winter Stuff !!

Hello All

Here are a couple of photos from Charly's second ski school week where she won a silver medal. The 8 year olds and older were 22.14 secs and she managed 25 secs for the same course so not bad at all really. No trophy this time though.









Also some general pikkies from fun in the garden ! There is not so much snow really but enough to be silly in !








Got some nice icicles hanging off the workshop and also a look at the Curling/Eisstockschiessen lane.





Charly with her back protector - she looks like a turtle now !



PS. Thanks for the notes from Mum & Dad/Oma & Opa and also Ria & Frits - always love reading them.

Love to you all ! Lara, Mike & Charly xxxooo
