They flew in on Friday night and we headed straight from the airport to dinner...sushi! I have not had sushi since before I was pregnant and that was vegetarian sushi. So I have not had real in over 3 years. It was delicious! From there we headed home, tucked Eva into bed and watched Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice. While this may seem kind of strange to some, Jen and I have known each other for over 10 years so we consider watching TV and relaxing to be a pretty good time. Now the boys? Not too sure how thrilled they were with our choice of shows to watch.
Saturday morning we headed to the Highlands for breakfast at the Coral Room. Breakfast included omelets with brie, apples and spinach, banana bread french toast, lots of coffee and bloody Marys! So delicious! We wondered around the Highlands shops for awhile and then headed to the grocery store for ingredients needed for the cookies that needed to be made for Michelle's Cookie Exchange that evening!!
We spent the afternoon making cranberry & white chocolate cookies and banana & chocolate chip cookies! Soooooo great!!! The boys actually headed off for Drew's work Christmas party while Jen and I packed up the cookies, wine and Eva and headed to the party!
While the boys were eating Filet Mignon, lobster tail, frog legs and fried alligator at Pappadeaux, Jen and I were enjoying a HUGE variety of cookies, fudge, toffee (and other goodies that Michelle prepared) and of course WINE!!! Eva was kind of fussy, but all the girls took turns holding her! It was so nice to see all of my friends!
The four of us ended up back home, very full and relaxing in front of the TV again.
We spent Sunday driving to Silverthorne, Christmas shopping and on the way back from the mountains we stopped at Beau Jo's pizza! Then, sadly, we had to take Jen and Daniel back to the airport.
While I am pretty sure I gained at least 10 pounds from all of the eating we did while they were here, we had such a great time!!
Thank You Jen and Daniel for coming to visit us!!
We miss you!!
Sounds like a perfect Colorado weekend. Glad you guys had the time together.
