WED - We woke up to a whiter day at Courmayeur, Monte Bianco, and a whiter birthday for Michele. Overnight, more than 10 inches of snow had piled up. Everywhere was white, and whiter! Charming, but don't think we could ski today too.
Residence Le Grand Chalet surprised Michele at the door with a birthday cake (thanks to Aunt Janet for the secret arrangement). 
Look, we were all suited up (more than yesterday) to walk the streets of Courmayeur. 
Everywhere was whiter than yesterday. 
It was such a lovely sight and nice feeling to walk in the cold, 
even as tiny snow flakes were falling. 
See the layer of snow cake on the table! 
In the afternoon, I took the kids tobogganing at a slope next to a nearby supermarket. 
It was very enjoyable! 
Then, we built a 2m-tall snowman just outside Residence Le Grand Chalet. We even build 6 little snowmen at our balcony (representing Aunt Janet, Michele, Nathaniel, Sonya, Ethan and me).
Again, we were spoilt by Aunt Janet's and Michele's cooking (even though it was her birthday). Tonight, we had spaghetti al ragu ... 
the best we've ever eaten during this Italy trip! 
Happy birthday, dear. May the Lord bless you with great health and happiness, and may all your dreams come true.
