Whistler 2018 - Ski Week

So after spending many days sick as a dog....with Strep throat (at first I was diagnosed with the flu and was sent home with Tamiflu...but the 3rd day I woke up with a bright red rash.  Mom freaked out and made a dr's appt....I went in and was diagnosed with Scarlet Fever!!!!  And strep.  Thankfully, it was all treatable with antibiotics and in 48hours I was already feeling better.  I finally started to eat my regular sized meals (instead of taking 3 days to eat an order of Tegone Hamburg Curry)...and I went back to school for a couple days.  

Then...off to Whistler.  Where there was so  much snow and it was so so so cold.  Mom put on everything under her jacket...and she was still cold.  But the snow was pretty good and they were really long runs.  Though I have to say that we should have gone to Lake Louise.  There wasn't as much variety in runs...and some were downright terrible.  And still, it was cold.

Walking the path down to Creekside village.

Always in for a snowball fight.

Met up with B's tennis friend Alex and family for a bit of riding.

Also met Chloe - second cousin...I think.  

That's Chloe and Caleb

Airport in Vancouver - luckily, this was not the day we left.  The snow cleared by the time we left.

Momo!

Walking the sea wall in Vancouver

Mr Cameron?

I am a TA for a hip hop class...mostly little kids, younger than Brendan.  Evelyn gave me a gift card and this card for the holidays.  Mom thought it was hilarious that she wrote...MR CAMERON!!!!

Holiday Party

We hosted our annual Holiday Party again.  Mom decided to do a gingerbread house decorating craft during the party.  For all the little kids...and me too.

Even though it was December, it was a really nice day out.  So we set the houses and candy up outside...for easier cleaning up.

Here's B working on his house.  My house is there, on the left with all the dum dums on top.  Looks good, right?  I worked on mine the morning of the party, so you know, the other kids would have something to aspire towards.  B copied a lot of my ideas.

We had a good time and good food.  Oh and good company too.

We took a grownups picture....but not a kids picture.  Oops. 

Christmas Tree

Mom and Dad thought it would be fun to cut down our Christmas Tree this year.  Luckily for us, we live close to some tree farms (in Los Gatos), so only about a 30 minute drive.  But def took more than 30 to cut down the tree...and they made me do most of the work...

We also took some Christmas card photos...they turned out well.

Okay, Brendan did a little bit....

Then Dad and I had to carry the tree...UP...THE...HILL...

Tap Into the Network

I signed up for a tap intensive and it was a great weekend.  So hard, but so good.

Supreme

Mom surprised me by going to the Supreme store in London.  She said she didn't want to wait in the line.....but was just passing by.

This was only part of the line.  Apparently, there was a second part a couple blocks over since they aren't allowed to block any other store fronts.  Mom did not want to wait.  

But then she did.  And she got me a nice backpack for Christmas...gave it to me now so I could use it.  But that means, I already got my gift.

Eclipse

Mom let me stay home from school (just the morning) to check out the solar eclipse.  We enjoyed some outdoor time with Ninja on the deck too!
