A few highlights include:
-Eating Bison burgers at Ted Turner's restaurant
-Curling up in a chair every morning to drink coffee next to a kitchen fireplace, and staring out the window at the swirling snow
-Enjoying the world's best Kolaches
-Seeing Greg in his snowboarding gear (he looks hot)
-Relaxing all day long with the girls
-Eating Brooke's fabulous chocolate-brownie-pudding-cake layered dessert concoction
-Eating arugula, proscuitto, and mozzarella gourmet pizza
-Watching Noah discover the snow
-Watching Noah get spoiled by all my friends and love it
-Watching Noah play WWF all day long with a teddy bear bigger than him
-Seeing the 12 crosses at the Columbine cemetary memorial
-Holding sweet baby Brett for hours
Me, Brooke, Amy, baby Brett, and Cheryl
This is what he did the whole time. He was so good and so yummy!
The only two little members of the Beautiful clan; we call them The Handsomes.
Thursday morning we woke up to several inches of snow! Noah had never seen it before, so we put on his, yes, snowpants, and let him romp around.
He loved it until he fell down (without mittens on) and realized his hands were like burning from cold. He loved it anyway.
Greg and I learned a valuable lesson on this trip: athough the airlines say that kids under 2 can fly free if they sit on your lap, the truth is that 17 month olds should never have to sit on your lap for 2 hours in a confined space. Noah reached his limit right about the time the pilot asked the flight attendants to prepare for takeoff. He decided to poop and flail about in our row. Two very longs hours later we arrived and made a pact to never put ourselves through that again. We begged the gate attendant and got him his own seat for the way back. The kid slept in his carseat on the plane for the entire flight home! We were so excited we almost became members of the mile high club...
Well, time to do all the things that suck after vacation: 3 loads of laundry, vaccuum dog hair off the carpet, take the dog to the groomers to get shaved, go grocery shopping, etc. But first, a nap.

It won't be long and you'll be holding a little one that size. If the baby boys are the Handsomes what would a baby girl be? Would she be a beautiful, maybe just 2nd generation? Glad you enjoyed yourself.
Glad you had such a good time!
How does X-box karaoke work? That might actually be a game I would enjoy!!
Good question Heather - and what are the husbands called? The Ordinaries?
Precious babies - Noah is getting cuter every day.
We might need to do a little X-Box karaoke AND a little Guitar Hero next time we're together. =)
SO FUN!! I'm jealous. I want to eat dessert for 3 days. And I really really, really want the recipe for any dessert that has the words chocolate, brownie, pudding, and cake in the same name.
And I also really want to drink coffee by a fire with snow outside the window.
Today I drank coffee in between spurts of dustbusting behind Reese (who now walks everywhere with her crumbling food in her hands) and listening to the peaceful, creative singing of The Wiggles. AAhh... just like vacation.
Great pictures! Glad you all had fun!
sounds like a REALLY fun trip!!
i would love the recipe for that delicious concoction, too!
i laughed out loud at your mile high comment. :)
