weekend off skiing

So we took a weekend off skiing to handle the social calendar (the kids not ours). On Saturday Polly's 3rd birthday where Bella did a little turn with Sebby to musical statues. Followed by Disney Princesses on Ice, then on Sunday Melody's 5th birthday. Fun, fun, fun. I have to say Disney on Ice exceeded (my) expectations, and was on the mark compared to the Cinderella ballet, everyone kept their clothes on for a start. Our little ones all duly got dressed up, 2 Snow White's, 1 pink princess and a ladybird... We expected the arena to be full of litle girls dressed as princesses...turned out 99.9% of them were dressed in normal clothes so our bunch stood out. I am wondering to myself, did we live in America too long, or does the reputation for being boring in Switzerland start at such an early age.
