A Beautiful Place to Ski

Last weekend, my daughter entered the Citizens Races at Hurricane Ridge.  It was beautiful, and it was a great day to go up to the mountain.  Both our girls had been taking ski lessions there, and they had so much fun eating skittles, drinking hot chocolate, and of course, learning to ski.

How did my daughter do?  She did great!  She got a silver medal!  Granted, there were two girls in her age group, but still!  We couldn’t have been more proud.

Here’s my family after the race.

Flowers from Daddy

My husband is a self-admitted panicker when it comes to gifts.  It used to give him severe anxiety just thinking of having to buy a present.  Over the, gosh, fifteen years we’ve been together, his condition has improved.  Dramatically.

His Valentine’s present to the girls was so sweet.  It wasn’t candy or a pillow pet.  It was a special gift from daddy.
