I have told the story of the first Christmas Marshall and I were together many times. I suppose it is a reminder of "experiences" over things once again. We actually didn't spend the actual holiday together - we each went home for Christmas - but we did have a special night out and exchange gifts. For our Christmas "dinner," we went out to an Italian restaurant in a strip mall by our house. I remember the evening because Marshall asked if we had been dating loony enough for him to use a coupon. I joke that is when we knew we were meant for each other.
So last night we headed into Boulder for an Italian Christmas meal at Carelli's. We didn't have reservations, but they got us a table at the bar which was cozy, but worked out just fine. We chatted about many different things, laughed, talked about visiting Drake in Italy and just had a really nice time. Someone even came up and told us how cute we all were - I would agree. How fortunate are we that our kids want to hang out with us as they get older. I will embrace these moments and cherish each one we get.
