Cuttin' a rug

Brian's office holiday party on Friday night was a blast! They had it in one of the ballrooms at The Broadmoor. Dinner was excellent, as to be expected from a five-star hotel. I, personally, most enjoyed the boogieing. Dancing is one of my all time favorite things to do, who cares if I look like a total white girl doing it? Maybe it's all those years spent in ballet, tap, jazz shoes that has it ingrained in my being but I hear the beat and my body wants to move. So that's what we did, we danced. Picture to the right is our friend, Andy. I just loved this picture when I took it, he's got all the moves on the dance floor.

Post-party, several of us headed over the The Golden Bee for more piano music, singing and hey - who's that with a half yard? Yes. I was asking myself the next morning what ever was I thinking? The girls stayed the night with Grammy, so at least we were able to sleep in a bit in our cushy room. Brian and I both had a touch of the "flu" Saturday morning.

Plans to attend a friend's annual holiday party got foiled by the weather on Saturday. We were all bummed about that but it just wasn't a good idea to put the whole family on the icy roads at night. So we lazed around the house and watched movies by the fire. Emma is addicted to George Balanchine's The Nutcracker, which we tivo'd for her. Although it was cold, cold on Sunday, we broke out of the house. I headed to Denver for the yearly Cheesecake Factory indulgence with Amy and Tricia (we miss you Molly!) and then the whole family went to our neighbors for the Broncos-Chiefs game - go Broncs!

All in all, we had a fun and relaxing weekend. Our hearts and prayers go out to the families affected by the local church shootings. Very scary and sad. Makes you wonder if there is anywhere that is safe anymore?

Have a great week ya'll!
