Broncos vs. Bears

Good morning.  We are surrounded by another gorgeous Colorado sky. The snow is actually a beautiful shade of rose and as I gaze up rose turns to peach then gold, a bit of silver and finally a pale blue.  It really is pretty.  The Mister and I slept in until 7:00 a.m.  It must be a record  for him.  Sleeping in is oh so nice….the munchkins are still sleeping and boy do they need it.

By the title of the post I am sure you thought it would be my better half writing this morning, but alas it is I.  We are taking one of the Mister’s clients and his wife to the game today (They’re from Chicago).  This is the first home game in six plus weeks.  We are super excited to watch all the players give it their all,  We will need to dress warmly…the temps may be in the 30s which is much warmer than the recent temps, but still quite cold for this CA girl.  We are not doing our usual tailgate.  Our guests have many friends (Bears fans) putting on tailgates, so we will be party crashers dressed in blue and orange…GO BRONCOS!!

The boys really need this sleep they are getting.  We had our Holiday Party which lasted into the midnight hour and the oldest brought down the last guest’s coat…the youngest was up that late as well.  They were up early yesterday and went to a birthday party from 12-2:30.  We noticed a big change in their attitudes upon their return from the party.  Could it be the soda pop and cupcakes???

We hosted the first round of the neighborhood progressive party last night.  Thank goodness we were first and not last.  We had rum and eggnog and of course delicious wines accompanied with a basket of parmesan crisps in the form of lollipops.  Everyone commented on our twirling tree….who knew a spinning tree would be so well received?  We bypassed the rest of the dinner… . relaxed…ate some leftovers….I ran up to Grandma’s with some of the pork from our party and had a lovely mini visit.  We watched a Christmas show and headed off to bed.  I went in with the oldest to talk for a bit.  The youngest was waiting with dad in our bed to snuggle.  When I returned to my room both of my my guys were fast asleep.  I took the youngest to his room….don’t worry mom, I had him walk on his own…I did not carry him….he is much too big for me to carry these days.

The dogs are asleep at my feet…apparently they partied too hard over the weekend as well.

We have a sitter coming for the youngest and the oldest has yet another party to attend today.  This is the “Hippie” theme party.  We are in search of the coveted peace sign necklace…I don’t know which junk drawer it could be in and today is definitely not the day to purge the junk drawers.

I saw a picture of my sister Serena on facebook…boy is her new haircut adorable.  She has new bangs….super cute.

Dad is off to the gym, I am off to retrieve my second cup of coffee and the soon to be 8 year old just came downstairs after an eleven and a half hours of sleep.  He is dressed, happy and very hungry.  He must be headed for another growth spurt.  I hear the oldest walking around upstairs….and here he is.. also dressed…why are they dressed and ready to go on Sunday morning and on Monday they want to lounge in p.j.s?  A question to ponder.

Have a wonderful day and God Bless,
