Skiing at Deer Valley

Eli and Paul went to Deer Valley several times to ski.

This is one of their favorite resorts to ski.

One time they were there, they saw the Freestyle Ski World Cup.

After a few runs of World Cup, Eli was tired of watching. So, what can a 9 year old do on the mountain packed with snow?

Eli is becoming a wonderful skier.

Warming up in the lodge for lunch.

A selfie I found while downloading pictures, ha!

Look who they saw coming down one of their runs? A porcupine. Too cute!

Eli went down a black diamond mogul run. It was challenging, but that didn’t stop him. He kept on going.

Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s day! Just a fun red breakfast before school.

Heart twinkies. I know, saturated fat. But we don’t eat these very often so it’s fine. 🙂

Valentine’s means chocolate. So we had chocolate muffins.

This is such a blurry picture. Hard to take good pictures at 6:30am. I need a new phone with a better camera 🙂

Eli is ready to go. Paul is still asleep.

Eli tried his jello parfait. He didn’t know what jello was. Apparently I have deprived him of a childhood treat. He loved it and wanted another one. I will have to do something next month with jello.

I don’t know what we were laughing about…

A little fruit with the saturated fat, er… twinkie hearts.

One last muffin and it’s off to school.

When we got home from school, I made some puff pastry hearts filled with mascarpone cheese, chocolate and strawberries. Crepes with cream and strawberries. Good thing this chocolate holiday comes around only once a year!
