So, our Christmas in 2004 was celebrated back in Solden, Austria. We had such a wonderful time there the Christmas of 2002- we had to go back. The mountains just called us.

Jessica sets up to create snow angles. Later as we take a break on the slopes, Graham sneaks a sip of beer. There is nothing like a cold on after a day on the slopes. We had sun for almost 6 straight days, which was much needed after the past few months of no or not much sun in the NL.

Across from out pension house, was a great view and hill for sledding. Jessica gets radical,

the parents pose, and Mom gets assistance from Grahan. The sleds are very fast and fun!!!

Poser shot! We made a trip in to Innsbruk for some shopping. Jessica is a Mozart fan and we took this photo in front of the house he stayed in while in Innsbruk.

Ken's cousin Kyle (2L) and friend Dan were in Europe and they made it up to Solden to enjoy some snowboarding with us. (R) We enjoy a late afternoon strool in the mountains.

Christmas eve. We celebrated a children's mass at the local chruch then mosied down for a warm/cold drink a local hotel.

Christmas Day. Santa arrived sometime in the night to the delight of Jessica and Graham. After some time opening and playing, we had to pack up and leave our apartment...Saturday to Saturday stays "only." We drove door to door (literally a the kids request to get home to play with the gifts) in 9.5 hours. The weather was good. It was another lovely, relaxing, family Christmas.
