2nd Annual St. Veits Ski Trip

St. Veit's was another fun ski weekend for us. After purchasing Javier's second pair of ski boots this season, we were ready to hit the slopes. The weather was beautiful, if not a bit warm, and the conditions were great. To top it off it snowed the second night we were there so our second day of skiing we had fresh powder. He may be new to this whole skiing thing, but Javier knows what he likes and its called p-o-w-d-e-r.

A taste of the Night Life. Its the same thing as last year but still seems to provide lots of laughs. Special congrats to the King of Teets - 2nd year running.

Twister

Its been a long time since I've played Twister, but on a cold night in Germany it seems like a pretty good idea. So our friends came over for dinner and a trip down memory lane.

Skiing for New Years!

Without further ado, here are our pictures from New Years Eve!

Home for the Holidays

Puerto Rico was a much needed reprieve from the frigid weather we were experiencing in Germany before Christmas. So we were both excited to hop on the plane, endure the 20 hour journey, and enjoy the 50 degree temperature change.

Here are a few pictures from our hike. Though the views are impressive, we were disappointed that the hike started so close to the peak of the mountain. None the less it was a beautiful day for a walk in the woods.

As always we ate well and enjoyed the company of family and friends. There was always a houseful of people and amazing food. I should be thankful I didn't gain 20 pounds during our visit. I'd like to think our runs every other day helped, but I'm not sure they did.

Its worth making note of the food fight one morning at breakfast. The pictures are pretty funny.

Christmas Holiday Party

I am terribly bad at getting pictures up on the blog which is why I'm glad I didn't make any resolutions to be better at this. And so, even though they may be late, here are pictures from Javi's work Christmas party.

It was a beautiful Rhine River cruise and we were lucky enough to see Tony play the best Mrs. Claus ever.

Enjoy the pictures!
