She can't wait to get to training to squeal some more with her club mates!
Here she is at the Frozen Moose Cup in Grande Prairie on Sunday. She and the other kids on the Lake Louise ski team have a lot of fun together, as you can see.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
That is the sound of Sarah screaming with joy. Alberta Alpine announced the Alberta team for the K1 Western Championships, and our girl qualified!

Speedy Sarah
Just got back from a provincial ski race in Edmonton where Sarah totally turned it on. She's in the top 30!
Too proud for words.... Here's some photos.

Alison
Alison is prone to making profound and hilarious statements. I'm sure I've posted some of her classics in the past: like when we got the first snowfall and she thought aloud "Yesterday the world was gray, but today the snow has lit up the earth," or when she told me she would like to learn about how they design jails because kids don't usually get to see that stuff. She's been really bored in school this year, so we are looking at options for her. I met with her teacher the other day and the lady doesn't seem to see it.
So I asked Alison if she could think of ways to let her teacher know how smart she is.
"No," said Alison.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Because I don't want to."
"Why not?" I asked again.
"That way I can slack off."

Racer
We are smack-dab in the middle of ski season and most of our non-working time seems to be spent on a ski hill (or preparing to go, or driving..).
Here's a couple of shots from Sarah's first race of the year.
Getting dressed beforehand...
At the end of her last race. Since Sarah is in her first year of K1 racing, her name was put in a draw with all the other first-years. She has no luck though, since she drew last, 3rd last and 2nd last for each of the three races that weekend. Oh well, she finished better than that.

Yes, Santa Claus, these are two very good girls. Enjoy the cookies they decorated and the hot chocolate Alison left you in the thermos.
Merry Christmas!

Sarah's Birthday
Sarah celebrated her 11th birthday this week.
She had a bowling/swimming party with her friends and had lots of fun. Some of those kids were great bowlers!
Sarah opened her birthday presents at home in front of the Christmas tree. She loves when it is Christmas-y for her birthday. Not a pleasure many of us can share!
Happy Birthday!
