post-birthday birthday party.

angel food cake.   ((my favorite))  what we always had for our birthdays growing up.   

playing with some birthday gifts.

gage had a dr's appointment friday morning so we all ventured out...they had a kitchen in the waiting room.   she was in girl heaven.

nordstrom cafe.   eating mass amounts of fresh cauliflower.

playing in the snow before the sun goes down for the day.

not sure i should share pretty much the most unflattering picture of myself but we had quite the night.... i was sitting on the floor, grandpa's boots were in one of our child's hands, and the next think you know he swung that thing and clocked me directly in the nose.   i passed out cold, like, gone!   on facebook i said, "we've always known one of our kids has a really good arm and that was confirmed when one of our kids swung a cowboy boot and knocked me out.   so, if you see me and my swollen nose,  feel free to laugh because we sure are."   yep, a big ol' swollen black & blue nose.   crazy.   after we assessed it wasn't broken and no teeth were missing we started laughing...  man, it hurt but now we have an absolute hilarious story and when we makes it in the big leagues he can say he knocked his mom out when he was little.  

saturday we decided to throw nap times out the window & head to downtown denver.   we took the train, light rail, down for the kids to experience it.   we all had fun:)  it was seriously one of the best days we've had in a long time!!

3 generations of red hair.

downtown denver!

((love this picture!))

on the way home we stopped at ted's montana grill for supper.   yuuuummy!  we did it up, appetizers, meals, special drinks, and dessert.  

getting back on the train latte at night.

sporting his own little rockmount shirt that grandpa got him downtown.   so handsome!

gage found someone matching his new birthday pants :)

and that concludes gage's birthday week...i guess that means you're officially three!
