Dominick in his first suit, ready to go to his Senior Christmas ball at the Crowne Plaza hotel. It included a sit-down dinner and dancing. That's all the details we were able to extract.

Winter is coming full-on with more snow in the Alps this week. Two more weeks of work to finish 2009, and then a couple of weeks off for the holidays. We will be staying home doing some day-trips to go skiing and having family time.
