recapped.

Back to the grind! How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Ours felt long but also too short. I went home to Denver and got some beautiful Colorado sky and that nice cold between fall and a true winter.

Scott picked me up from the airport. We fit in a quick dinner at Root Down before he left town and caught up on best of friends type stuff with fantastic drinks!

Thanksgiving day was a group effort with everyone bringing something to the table and a lot of hands in the kitchen. My Mom has been wanting us all back in Denver around her dining room table for too long and I think this might have been the first time she also got to see the next generation at her table too. Look at Stella's little hands with my Mom's little silver set for kids on top of the beautiful table cloth that her great Aunt made by hand. So cute!

We also listened to music, the classic way though, with good old records.  

 

And like the children we are, we sorted through photos. This one is just awesome, isn't it?! Kind of want to make a big copy and frame it.

My only regret is that I didn't get out that much on this visit. I had planned to get up to Red Rocks to run the stairs, convince some folks to go to Kittredge for brunch, or even head over to some of the antique/vintage stores on Santa Fe, but it wasn't in the cards. There was this beautiful sky on the way to dinner on Friday night though...

And, we also celebrated Stella's upcoming 2nd birthday! We went with Mom to get some ice cream and found this fantastic vegan based ice cream parlor on West Broadway called Sweet Action.

We also celebrated a little at dinner too!

Speaking of South Broadway, the area has blown up. While we were there, we popped into a couple cool stores, including Fancy Tiger Crafts. It is this great little crafts store..definitely the knitter's paradise. And, I also went to get coffee a couple of mornings with Jordan and Hannah at Happy Coffee.

Not pictured was a trip to the park with Stella, dancing with Stella, reading with Stella, and sweet hugs and kisses from Stella. We also hung out at Dad's house, saw Matt&Anne and Erica&Nathan with Eleanor and Aislyn in tow. And, we stood around in the kitchen a lot. It was great, a much needed Colorado visit and makes me realize I need to get home more!
