New Year in...

Trois Vallees....France...








with a little bit of this:








(my first time at snowboarding)





and some skiing...











a chance to spend some time with my sister, whom I hadn't seen for a year..









And a chance to meet Buchty. She's the sister of my dog, Rita ....but mine is cuter, of course ;)







We've had a great week, with some old friends...and also made some new friends...







At midnight... celebrating in the snow!!!! How cool is that????




HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
