Super Chill Weekend

-

We had a super chill weekend. Thursday I picked up Reese and Davis from TSA and took them to get these coveted Red reusable cups from Starbucks. Then I made a gorgeous steak salad from plated and Sam went to gym. Michael flew home on Friday. I went to see Sam play his guitar recital at school, taught a class and then picked up Leah from earl release and had a library/lunch date with her. That evening Sam and Garrett went to Snobahn, Suzy and Michael and Christin and I went to Bar Louie for happy hour, and Davis went with Reese to jumpstreet.
Saturday was a splendid day with sun and temps in the high seventies. Davis went with his mountain bike friends to Ruby Hill, Sam went to Snobahn with Garrett and I made a really good salmon dish from Plated. Michael did some work around the house. I attempted a run and re-hurt my back. We packed away all the Halloween stuff and made more travel plans. Suzy and I looked at some open houses in the neighborhood. That evening we Michael and I had happy hour with Jon and Jen at Carboy winery and then we went over and had a glass of wine with Suzy and Jason to hear all about his trip to Nepal.
Sunday we skipped church and stayed home. It was lovely. Davis did homework while Michael and I watched the saints game (horrible!!!) and Sam went with Garrett to Snobahn. That afternoon Davis joined his brother and Garrett and they went to Puma park and then played video games together. Sam has really been missing hanging out with his brother lately and it was so good for them to spend time together. Suzy and I took the dogs on a walk and saw a gorgeous sunset. I also made an incredible sweet potato vegetarian dish from Plated and we all sat around the table and laughed over dinner. It was great. We ended our Sunday with a Blackish episode before Michael took a lyft to the airport hotel before his early flight this morning. A cold front came in overnight and iced everything and snowed so Michael wanted to stay close to the airport before his trip this week.
All in all, it was a lovely weekend at home and I really needed it. I have been really overwhelmed and struggling and it was so good to just be together as a family.

Winter Park Weekends

  For two weekends in a row, we have rented our favorite condo from our friends and spent the weekends in Winter Park. It is SO fun! Davis has a trestle downhill pass and we meet our friends the Rileys and the Perrys (our mountain bike family) and the kids ride all day, I hike around in the mountains and we have communal dinner either at the rigs or at the condo. The first weekend we met everyone up there after the Heritage back to school dance which turned out to be a germ factory. I drove up Aidan and Sam after school on Friday. We unpacked and then had a lovely dinner at Lime before coming back to the condo where the boys watched John Wick and I took a long bath. Michael, Davis and Garrett came up late after the dance and we all fell asleep. That Saturday was lovely, but quite cold. Sam and G tried downhilling with the others and really enjoyed it. Michael and I got an activity pass and did the alpine slide a lot of times. We read in our adirondack chairs by the lift and ate lunch a

 In between Winter Park weekends, Michael celebrated his 50th birthday and Rosie celebrated her 1st. Michael chose to have a quiet birthday after the big polo celebration and stay in. I decorated a little, we ordered in Thai food, watched the new marvel show, What if?, and had delicious ice cream from Heaven. Rosie had a cookie and lots of pets.

Friday Photos: Saturday Photos: Sunday Photos:  This year we got two tables at DA2030's charity polo weekend. We invited all our favorite people to help Michael celebrate his 50th birthday. Mom and Paul and Tiffany and Keith and Cheris and Rob and Steven and his girlfriend Amber all flew in just for the weekend!  Our local friends joined in too and we had a party! Mom and Paul got us a limo as Michael's birthday present for Friday's fancy night at Wings over the Rockies.  Cheris and I got our hair and nails done. Christin and Suzy went to get their makeup done. I had four dress options for Friday night and due to a lot of factors, ended up wearing a completely different one at the last minute. I was stressed as it really wasn't dressy enough, but I looked okay in it and it was comfortable so that was all good. The weather was warm, but not too smoky from all the fires so that was okay. Michael has quit drinking and was worried about how much fun polo would be without bo
