Happy Birthday Jen!!

Jen turned 26 today, can you believe it? She didn't have just one day to celebrate, but a whole weekend!! We decided to be adventurous and spend the entire weekend in Denver! We drove up Friday night after Greg got off work, had a quick dinner at Chili's, and then relaxed in our room at the Hotel Denver Tech Center the rest of the night--it was SO nice just to get away!!

Saturday was spent touring Denver (and surrounding cities), driving around town seeing the sights, shopping, and getting a jump on several Christmas presents. Later that afternoon, we figured that Greg's Saturn must have been tired from all that driving around because it ended up being one hubcap short!! Somehow, somewhere in the midst of all that driving, the rear driver side hubcap decided to fly off and we've yet to find it..... Later that night, after much anticipation, we had Jen's traditional birthday dinner at The Cheesecake Factory on the 16th Street Mall in Downtown Denver. And for dessert, we had her favorite: Pumpkin Cheesecake. It was DIVINE!!!!!

Sunday morning we woke up to about 6 inches of snow on the ground! It was pretty, but cold. Can you believe it was 77+ degrees and sunny on Saturday and then cloudy and snowing on Sunday? That's Colorado for you! After the shock of the snow, we went and had breakfast at Einstein Brothers (yes, we had pumpkin bagels and pumpkin cream cheese) and decided to venture back home instead of doing more shopping. We ran into some stopped traffic, icy roads, and blowing snow on Monument Hill, but we made it home all in one piece.

This morning, Jen's bosses decided to throw a party for her at work and made Pumpkin Waffles--definitely one of the best breakfasts Jen has ever had! We decided we're gonna go to Williams Sonoma this weekend to pick-up some pumpkin bread mix, pumpkin waffle mix, and pumpkin pecan butter for a Saturday breakfast pretty soon. They have the best pumpkin stuff ever!! Can you tell that we're "pumpkin" people??

Finally, to top off a fun and eventful three days, we had a little party at Mom and Dad Kelly's house! Jen got a lot of good presents along with the "famous" homemade chocolate cake she loves so much. Happy Birthday Jen!!
