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!

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. 

Avocado Toast

My favorite at Philz Coffee...avocado toast, with egg and sprinkled with some Zatar spices.

Dinner

Mom said we have to start cooking dinner once a week....she said we could make anything...so this is what we made...spam musubi!!!  Looks good, right?

Thanksgiving

Went to MSY for Thanksgiving.  

Of course, we ate beignets.

Spent some time at the WWII museum

We played some tennis

Had Thanksgiving

I must've eaten something funny.

I held this baby...for a minute.  She was a good baby, but she was heavy...and I didn't want to hold a baby.

Holiday Party!

Levi's Stadium and the Cal game

Uncle Steve gave us tickets to go watch the Cal v Oregon game at Levi's Stadium.  We just wanted tickets, but Uncle Steve scored big and got us VIP seats.  Right at the 50 yard line, with a special lounge with complimentary food and drinks!  Of course, we went wild in there.  We arrived super early...since we heard there would be traffic.  And we wanted a head start on our dinner.

Here we are at the bottom of the stairs...basically, we are feet from the field.  Our seats are only 25 rows up.  We had amazing seats!

Under the seating area of section 115, we are heading into the lounge. 

Eating duck pizza (Oregon Ducks?) and nachos

Oh boy!  We went crazy with the candy!

Not very many people there as early as we were...so we had the food to ourselves.

On the field!

The view from our seats

Pretty nice, huh?

Snacking on popcorn

The band is playing

Cal band

Here come the players

Mom enjoys her view....

Taking a video game break in the lounge.

The game was still going when we left....it was late and we had chinese school the next day.  Oregon won....but it was still a fun game and a nice chance to see the new stadium.  A big thanks to Uncle Steve for giving us these tickets!
