Jennifer arrived Christmas morning. You could say Santa brought her if you were willing do concede that his sleigh looked an awful lot like a Continental Airlines Boeing 747. Santa was the pilot, Dancer was the navigator, Prancer was the head steward... we'll leave it there before I say something really offensive.
And she brought presents of her own - a bag full of American goodies, most importantly 3 (Three!) bottles of Frank's Red Hot, the key ingredient in Buffalo-style chicken wings. I don't miss much food here in Switzerland because mostly the local stuff is so good, but wings are items 1-5 on the list.
See the joy!
Seeing as how this was her only day in Geneva, we tried to do a whirlwind walking tour. UN - check, Old Town - check. Lake - check. Here she is in front of the Doctors Without Borders building, as she has long said she wants to work with them once she finishes med school.
After our whip around town we made a proper Christmas dinner (roast chicken, rice and something green in form of Broccoli). We were also joined by Floriane, my English student/ French teacher. Floriane is a Geneva native who got all of her family time out of the way the day before, and very much wanted to chat with Aaron as this February she is moving to Chicago to begin a one year PhD fellowship at the University of Chicago.
Tichy family readers will also recognize the white drinks on the tables. Need a closer look?
Snowballs! The recipe was kept secret by Jaren, who refused to let anyone watch her make them, but the effect was on display for all to see. Who knew Aaron could do headstands?

Very awesomely narrated. Looks like you guys had loads of fun (and always good to see family).
Oh and your brother Steve is most definitely a nerd.
Ahh Grandpa Doug, thank you for the Snowball! Steve, how was THIS year's snowball experience? I hope this year treated you better than last...he, he. Jess
