Easter in Colorado












We had a nice trip to Colorado for Easter. We were hoping to get more time with friends in Denver and stay a little longer, but Connor ended up getting sick and so we left a few days early to come back to Ohio. The time we did spend with family was great. The kids and I flew in Friday and spent the night with Nana, Aunt Shay and Aunt Lauren eating pizza and catching up. On Saturday, we drove to Denver for a busy day. We went to my college roommate and dear friend Meg's daughters 4th birthday party. Abby talks about Ellie all of the time in Ohio as well as her little brother Kemper who I think she is in love with. We were so thankful to be included. The party was at build a bear and the four girls had such a great time making bears, picking out outfits for their bears and celebrating Ellie. We had lunch afterwards at Johnny Rockets and sang happy birthday to Ellie. It was such a great party.
We then went to pick up Matt who flew in Saturday morning and meet his best friend Lee and his fiancee Krista for lunch. They are two of Abby's favorite people and it was so nice catching up with them.
That night we went back to Ft.Collins for a nice Easter dinner with Nana, Shay, Boris and Aunt Lauren. It was so great to see everyone again.
Abby and Connor had a nice Easter morning and brunch. In the afternoon cousin Dylan came back from his dad's house and he and Abby had a great time looking for the eggs and baskets the easter bunny had brought them. Abby was on sugar overload by the end of the weekend. We had a great Easter dinner with poppop and aunt elaine, uncle fred and the rest of the Boissy crew. It was a busy weekend catching up with everyone, but we had a great time.
The rest of the week was a bit more relaxing with a trip to the botanical gardens and time spent with cousin Dylan, Nana, PopPop and Aunt Lauren.
We were really bummed that our trip to Denver was cut short by some car trouble and kids that didn't feel so good, but we were thankful for the time we did get to spend with family.

Looks like fun. You have such cute kids. We went to the Botanic Gardens recently too and we were impressed with the kid's garden. Hope you had fun.
