Happy Birthday, Grandmom!

We spent last weekend celebrating Grandmom's birthday with Aunt Diana and Uncle Eric at Union Station, in Denver. We met everyone at the hotel on Friday night, and went out for a quick dinner nearby.

More importantly, we got to have cake as soon as we got back to our hotel room! (Fortunately, they upgraded us to a suite, since they didn't have an extra roll-away for Sabine, so we ended up in a suite with two queens. The extra space was very welcome, and we put the little dinning area to good use!)

Angel food cake, of course.

Saturday morning, we had fun exploring Union Station before heading out for breakfast.

We went to breakfast at The Delectable Egg, and it was wonderful!

Next, we took everyone on a walking tour of LoDo, right up 16th Street Mall.

We even went in to show off daddy's office!

And we rode the 16th Street Mall bus, which was Aspen's favorite part.

There was an interesting Native American dance competition going on outside the Museum of Modern Art, but Aspen found the dumming a little overwhelming.

We had a photographer get some family pictures, here are the two sneak previews she sent us, we can't wait to see the rest!

Then Sabine and Aspen changed into more comfortable clothes and our dear babysitter drove all the way to Denver to hang out with the girls and go out for mac & cheese while the grown-ups went to a fancy restaurant.

It was a fun weekend, with lots of good family time. Here's the last shot of of the girls enjoying our beds one last time before we had to check out!

And a sweet moment at our last breakfast downtown, before heading home!
