Hi again readers. It is a very cold, snowy day and I have been out sledging with my neighbour, Yannick. Of course, I am much faster and bolder than him but I don't rub it in.

Christmas was fab. Mum and dad have both had a long holiday and we have been having lots of fun, going skiing (2 x in la Berra), visiting the thermal baths at Westside, the Papilorama, walks in the woods and ice skating on the outdoor rink in Estavayer. I have new skiis this year, double the length of the ones I had last year, so it's harder to turn but easier to go very fast. Mum was a bit surprised when I whizzed past her. She says I don't turn enough but what's the point in turning anyway?

Nanny Barbara stayed with us for Christmas and I got some great pressies from Santa, including a sporticus suit, a spider man suit, a big battle ship with attachable boats and harpoons and a shark to catch, lego, books and a giant remote controlled crane. My birthday is next week so I will get presents all over again. Hooray!

On New Year's Eve we went to Lori and Eddy's and I played with Alexander. Even though he is nearly 9 he still plays with me. On New Year's Day we went sledging at Saint Cergue near Nyon, which was good fun. Aunty Marion, my godmother, came over from Berlin and I held her hand in the car and told her she had beautiful hair. She said I was adorable.

We pulled our sledges up a great big hill and went so fast that we made it half way up the hill on the other side. Mum and dad bought a new sledge with three blades or whatever they're called but dad says it is too hard to control and that I should stick to my old yellow sledge instead. So that's what I used today at Yannick's.

Back to the garderie tomorrow and I'm looking forward to seeing my old friends, Romain and Leandro. I have a Thomas the Tank book for Leandro - late Christmas present. I go to the blue school next week on Tuesday afternoon AND (new) Friday afternoon.

On Friday afternoon Claire (my half sister) and Chloe (my niece although she is 3 and I am only 4!!!) are flying to Geneva and they will stay with us for a whole week at the chalet we have hired in Villars. Skiing and sledging every day, WAHEY. Alexander and his mum and dad will also stay at Villars on the 10/11 so we will celebrate my birthday up there together.

Mummy and daddy are a bit sick. Mum has a tummy bug and dad has sinus problems and is very tired as he didn't sleep well. That is why Liina is taking me to the bouncy castle after sledging, and not mum or dad. But they still play with me and feed me even when they are sick, which is nice of them! I think I get less tickled when they are sick.
