Grandparent Visit

Since Boxing Day...

Just catching up a bit. :) After Christmas, we had a couple low key days of cleaning and such. Nathan's parents got here on Sunday, December 29 and we had a lovely visit.

Mostly we hung out at home and played lots of games. Also, we all went to watch the Mr Rogers movie (highly recommended!)...Nathan and I were able to go out to celebrate our anniversary (a day early since we generally don't try to make plans on New Year's Eve)...boys had individual time with grandparents for lunches...and Nathan, John, Nancy and I went to the Candlelight Dinner Theater to see Holiday Inn (which was terrific!).

Also, on the 31st, we ventured up to the Museum of Discovery here in Fort Collins because we'd never actually been there and they had a special exhibition about video games, lol. First we enjoyed the main exhibits...

...and then we enjoyed the video game exhibits, with everyone trying out some of the interactive games...

But, perhaps the most fun was when we found the corner with the Guitar Hero game. We'd never played before and took turns...

Not surprisingly, Asher (who's played the most instruments and taken the most music lessons) clearly surpassed us. But the rest of us had a great time, regardless.

And then we took some pictures...

...and at midnight, we welcomed the new year. Our tradition had been chocolate fondue. But, with Micah joining Nancy this year in being gluten and sugar free, we added a charcuterie board to our midnight snack and thoroughly enjoyed it.

(Many thanks to The Fox & The Crow for helping with meat and cheese selection. Yum!!)

And then on Friday, we wandered Pearl St in Boulder after meeting up with Nathan for lunch (he returned to work on the 3rd) before taking John & Nancy to their hotel near the airport. 

They flew out early the next morning and made it safely home to Washington. 

And now we've spent the weekend catching up, cleaning, de-decorating, climbing and watching the latest Star Wars movie. Asher & Micah start back to school in the morning. Whew.
