I took the day off work on Friday, February 12th and it was fabulous! What was the occasion? Well, my sisters and Mom were coming into town for Jacob’s blessing. It was awesome. It worked out perfectly that Jenny’s flight and Jessica’s flight landed about 10 minutes apart from each other, so I was able to pick them all up at the same time! Rylee and Jackson also came along which I’m glad they did- such cute kids! Jackson was only 3 weeks old so I got to meet him!
As soon as everyone got situated in the car after I picked them up I said, “Okay ladies, where are we headed? What do you want to do?” To which Rylee replied, “Ladies? I’m not a lady?” So, I asked her what she was and I learned that Rylee is “a human!” So, I edited my original question and asked again, “Okay ladies, and human, where are we off to?” It was pretty funny!
Mom flew in a couple hours later and Jared picked her up from the airport. We then all rendezvoused at Mimi’s Café and enjoyed their delicious carrot & raisin bread!
We thought this was a fitting sign!
It was the Opening Ceremony for the Canada Olympics that night so we spent the evening at Jared and Katie’s so we could watch. Side note: I have a t.v., but I don’t have cable nor do I have the necessary converter thing, so we can’t watch t.v. at my apartment. So, we spent a lot of time hanging at Jared and Katie’s place.
Jared and Katie brought breakfast to my apartment that day, so it was great to come home and find everything taken care of already. Thanks guys! After playing some wii we all piled in cars and went to Southlands where we met up with Annie and hang out at Wal-Mart. Good times! Saturday evening we spent watching Olympics, playing golf (the card game), and enjoying the great company!
Sunday was Valentines Day and it was also the reason for the gathering. Jared did a fabulous job on the blessing. It is kind of neat that February 14th also happens to be the birthday of the family member on Katie’s side that Jacob was named after. Makes that day extra special.
The Crabb’s were nice enough to open their house to us to come over and enjoy a nice lunch while we visit. Thanks!
Sunday evening we hung with the Showell clan and enjoyed more Olympics!
It was nice that Monday was President’s Day so I didn’t have to work and got to spend another day playing. After breakfast Monday morning Katie, Mom, and I met up with Annie and Cassie in Castle Rock to go Antiquing. There was a cool little shop called “The Barn” that we found some cute hats and fun purses!
Unfortunately all good things must come to an end. Monday brought the end to a great weekend. It was so great to spend time with my Sisters who stayed with me. That definitely doesn’t happen often (if ever) that it is just us Sisters in one place. Love you great gals! It was awesome to spend time with Mom, Rylee, Jackson, and the family who is here in Denver as well. I am definitely blessed with a wonderful family and love all the times we get to be together. It was a great weekend!
We took a lot of pictures before heading off to the airport, so enjoy!
Jared got a Stud Finder- it found him!
