Each year our family get together in France to enjoy a week in the snow with each other. As the years increase, so does the family! This year we had 6 adults and 6 children (7 and under)... pretty hectic! Fortunately for us there was lots of snow at the chalet (last year was pretty miserable, and the younger children didn't enjoy the snow as much as we would have liked) and so the children spent lots of time wrapped up throwing themselves around...
... climbing...
...making an igloo...
... sledging...
... and learning to balance on ski's!
We also enjoyed the beautiful scenery, although there aren't too many shots... it was very very cold, and time up the mountain was spent skiing as it was so limited (we took skiing and looking after the children in shifts!)
One of the things I love about France are their patesseries and chocolatiers. Fabulous cakes, breads and chocolates, and the most beautiful displays. This one is in Samoen.
