After an amazing day exploring Montreux, we returned to the house ready to start the week. But before diving into our routines, we took a special moment to celebrate Paul David’s birthday together.

Everyone gathered in the living room, filled with smiles and excitement. We sang a heartfelt “Happy Birthday,” Paul David blew out his candles, and then the fun really began—our favorite game at the moment: hide and seek! Laughter echoed through the house as everyone joined in, making it a birthday to remember.

Happy Birthday, PD! Here’s to many more joyful moments together.

Dear all,

What a weekend we just had! It all started on Friday with the very first snowfall of the season. The moment those flakes began to fall, the whole atmosphere changed — suddenly everything felt more magical, more festive. Some of us rushed outside just to feel the snow on our faces, others stayed by the window watching the world turn white.

Saturday was one of those days where you don’t stop smiling. We kicked things off with the Climbing Cup, and everyone cheered as Yarik gave his best and proudly finished in 8th place. Later, when the sun went down, Olympus became our playground. We played hide-and-seek in every corner, laughing and running around like kids again. And when we finally slowed down, we curled up together for a cozy Christmas movie — the perfect way to end such a lively day.

Then came Sunday, and we took our festive spirit on the road with a trip to Montreux. The Christmas markets there were simply enchanting: twinkling lights, the smell of roasted chestnuts, stalls full of handmade gifts, and music filling the air. Walking through the market felt like stepping straight into a holiday postcard.

Looking back, it was a weekend full of little moments that made us feel connected — to each other, to the season, and to the joy of living together in Champs Des Bois
