My mom, sister and I went in together to get my dad Beatles Rock Band for Christmas this year. It was a big hit!
Mom, Dad and I rocking out. We needed Tricia there to sing to make it a true full family affair.
Here’s what I’ve been up to the past couple of weeks.
Nick and I went to Crested Butte for some skiing and we drove through these types of conditions on Monarch Pass to get there:
It took us about 5 hours and 45 minutes to do the normally 4 hour drive. Luckily Nick loves driving through conditions like this and sees it as an adventure. Plus he’s a good driver so I felt mostly at ease with the situation. The photo above is hardly the worst of it…there were times when we couldn’t see anything and were just using the force. Apparently, to actually close the road there have to be enough semi trucks (who like idiots didn’t put on their chains like the sign said they had to) stuck so that no other vehicles can get through. We passed 3 that were stuck and none of them had their chains on. I don’t get it.
I shopped and prepared gifts for Nick’s side of the family who we had to ship gifts to as we are spending Christmas in Colorado this year.
We went to a super fun holiday party at our friends Pam and Ryan’s house. Live music, good friends, great party!
Happy Birthday Nick! 
We had a great time at (Grateful) Dead Tuesday at Zio Romolo’s on Nick’s birthday. Good friends, good tunes, good times!
Suzie and I stayed up really late to attend the Horse Feathers show at the Hi-Dive Friday night. I thought they went on at 10…nope…they went on a midnight. What? I’m not 21 anymore dammit, midnight feels late! But I love the Horse Feathers so Suz and I left the hipster madness, crossed the street to have a cocktail at Beatrice and Woodsley and caught up with one another without having to yell for 2 more hours. If you’ve never been there, go soon. It is a gorgeous restaurant with a delicious sounding and reasonably priced menu. We got there too late to try out anything except cocktails and dessert, but if those were any indication of the full menu’s goodness, then it’s going to be tasty!
We headed back over to the Hi-Dive around midnight and Horse Feathers finally took the stage. Love, healing, beautiful. I know I went on and on about them in an earlier blog post but I can’t say enough good things about them. I was using a new lens and I don’t really know how to use all the manual settings on my camera so I didn’t have a ton of luck getting great shots. But a few did come out. Thanks again to Ross for letting me borrow his new piece of glass.
LLS- I was thinking of you…hope to see you when you’re home for Christmas!
Suz – thank you for being such a good sport!
Playing with the lens that Ross very graciously let me borrow and play with. Abby and Ross are pretty much the cutest couple. Thanks for coming over for dinner you two! What a fun night!
These prayer flags are the guest book from our wedding. One of the traditional Nepalese prayer flag beliefs is that as the sun and wind and elements weather the flags the wishes and prayers written on them are released into the universe. I highly recommend this guest book idea.
This little bridge crosses the little water feature and leads to the gazebo. This picture is for my friend Joel…who is welcome to come over to cross the bridge anytime. 🙂
I just couldn’t get enough of the colors in the front yard. So pretty!
A New Year - a new look
