So much fun

All dressed up!

On Saturday morning, we headed up to Vail to see our good friends the Smiley's. They invited to be their guests at the Vail Mountain School Gala (an event benefiting the school). The other couples from our British Virgin Island trip were also invited and we all enjoyed "having the boat back together."  The women enjoyed an afternoon of pampering with make up, champagne, cheese and strawberries. Thankfully for me, Rachel also had great jewelry and was able to do my hair as well. The kids spent the afternoon playing, watching football (Drake gave me the play-by-play of the Nebraska football game), and just hanging out. Fortunately, we had a van transporting us to the event as the roads were very snowy and treacherous.

It was a beautiful event and we all had a nice time socializing, eating, drinking, and dancing. It was nice to have a reason to get dressed up and have an adult evening out with friends - old and new. As a bonus, we purchased a weekend in Keystone at a condo right on the gondola and look forward to a little winter ski get-a-way and hope to have the Smiley's join us. 

We wrapped up the weekend with a nice brunch with everyone at the Smiley's. It has been awhile since we had a reason to get all "gussied up" and it was great fun!
