The girls and Brent made a wonderful breakfast and dinner for me on Wednesday to celebrate my birthday. Sabrina was most proud of the pink mashed potatoes, made with puréed roasted beets along with the potatoes. They (ok Brent) also made creme brûlée. My favorite. It was perfect. In fact, it was so good that we had to eat it again two days later to celebrate Jill's birthday.
Then we had a big milestone in our extended family with Natalie turning 40 today! We celebrated grown-up style in a fancy penthouse in Vail. Fourteen of us (plus three babies who snuck in) went for the night and had a hired chef for the evening who made a four course meal and a fabulous dessert for us.
The kids stayed with a teacher from BMS named Janina. She was wonderful with them. She even hung in there when our fall weather turned into a complete blizzard in Vail this morning and they closed I-70 for several hours and we were stuck on the other side!! Doh! We got home several hours late but to two very happy and well cared-for girls. (We really miss Nana and Poppy, and yes, we realize how spoiled we are!). Here are some photos from the drive up and the cool sculpture in the square below our penthouse. The ski hill is just behind me taking this photo. We were on the top floor. It was fairly amazing really. 
Happy birthday Libras!
