....... ,with equal emphasis on both words.

Since last, we have managed Christmas, Julias 21st birthday and New Year. And - lots of cosy hours together on the couch, good food and good drinks with good friends (Claes and Ann-Marie as good example), horserides, nightskiing (up and down, puh!). And of course, work! Julia too, in the skischool, like me. Niki learns and learns and learns..... Our winter is normal - not too much snow and not too cold, sunny days and cloudy days.
It is said, that pictures tell more than words - so here we go:

Emil and Julia brought the Christmastree on ski, from somewhere high up.
The first official Christmasfoto without Oma Agnes.
For Christmas dinner, we had "Weissbier" (Weizen) as main course.
A typical early birthdaymorning, followed by afternoon birthdaycake- and coffe, followed by birthday- and New Years eve fondue followed by poker (as a change for monopoly). Niki got a "poker box" at the annuala Red Cross christmasparty and of course we had to try it out. Was fun :-) New Years night was cold and clear, Julia; Niki and I went up the hill behind the house and watched the fireworks. Emil stayed at home with Pontiac, who gets almost scared to death by all that noise. The next morning, I had to lure him out with a sausage, to do his "business". Still scared, poor dog! 
In the evening of the first of January,traditionally, a lot of people, and the four of us, ski down from Neunerköpfle (Emils mountain) in a long row, with torches. Looks spectaculous, from the valley, if it isn't foggy. Like yesterday. But that didn't make it less nice:-) It's alway the same bunch, more of less.
So as you all (????) understand, I had a lot of very important things to do, these day, and so I neglected my blogg. Sorry!
I hope you all make the very best of 2011 and don't waste it on unimportant acts! Good luck, everybody, out there!!!
