I got a stomach flu last week. I had to stay home for a couple days. Ugh. It’s better than the real flu though. Eden and Elisa didn’t pick it up, thankfully. It’s always nice to have Chad home, even if he is sick.

Eden discovered that her favorite food is egg nog. She drank my entire glass on Friday night. She was practically hyperventilating she was so excited. We discovered we need to limit her intake. A half hour later we were at IHOP to celebrate my birthday. (We’re IHOP fans, OK?) All of a sudden Eden lost all her egg nog. 4 times. Good thing we weren’t at a posh restaurant, right? Or at home! It turns out that Eden wasn’t sick though. She had just lost her first gallon challenge. Surprisingly, the next night she still hyperventilated the same way when she was in the same room with egg nog. The second time we cut her off after half a glass.

My birthday was on Friday. Elisa made me a treasure hunt through the apartment. I didn’t have to keep asking for hints like last year, which is good. I was still pretty beat from being sick, so it was nice to have a laid-back night.

Elisa and I went to Park City on Saturday. Thanks JB and Hillary for watching Eden all morning! Elisa did great on her skis. She learned to turn again and went pretty fast all morning. The biggest success was that it wasn’t scary or freezing. That will make it easy to return to the mountain another day. It was scary, but I didn’t think I was going to die. 🙂
