My cousins, Jenny and Brad, came to visit us over New Years. We had a nice and relaxing weekend hanging out. It was great to spend some one-on-one time with them, since we never get to spend as much time together as we all would like when we are in Wisconsin. They flew in New Years Eve and we all went out to dinner and then went back to the house to put Lennon to bed. We spent the rest of the night hanging out and trying to make it to midnight--I think we were all surprised we made it!
This is Lennon the day before Brad and Jenny flew in. It was our first big snow of the season and Lennon had a lot of fun for the few minutes we were out there (it was also the first really cold day of the season).
On Sunday, the Packers/Bears game wasn't on TV in Denver since the Broncos were playing, so we went to a sports bar up the mountain in Evergreen. There are a ton of Packer and Bear fans in Denver, so it was a lot of fun to watch with all the fans--plus it's always more fun when your team wins!
Brad was the only Bears fan of our group. Jenny joked that the reason Lennon looked so mad was because he was forced to sit with a Bears fan! Packer fans definitely out-numbered the bears.
On Monday, while Adam was at work, we decided to go to Red Rocks. Anyone who has been to Red Rocks knows that it's a workout--climbing over a hundred steps. Plus it was even more challenging to avoid and keep your footing over all the ice. I don't know if Brad and Jenny appreciated all the work, but the views are pretty great, and it's such a Colorado thing to do.
Lennon did not appreciate having to be carried up and down Red Rocks. Normally I would have let him have more freedom, but it was still really snowy and icy up there. Brad carrying him on his shoulders was really the only way that Lennon stopped whining on the way down.
Lennon and Jenny--or as Lennon would say, "Enny."
We got to the airport on Monday a bit early, so we had a few extra minutes to play around before saying our goodbyes. As Lennon and I were approaching the doors to go out to the parking garage to leave, Lennon started crying and yelling, "Enny, Enny" and pointed behind him. He screamed all the way to the car and put up a fight getting in his carseat. As we were driving away, he was crying, "No buh-bye, no buh-bye." He probably cried for a good 20 minutes after we left. The last time we took someone to the airport was around his first birthday, and he didn't understand good-byes as much back then. Plus, he just had so much fun with Jenny and Brad--it was sad to have them leave and we definitely miss them.
