Brubaker Bunch Colorado Adventure- Part 1

The Brubaker Bunch made their way out to Colorado Springs a couple weeks ago for an extended weekend!  I love having guests in our home especially of the niece and nephew variety!  We jammed packed our four days together and hit up all the tourist hot spots!  Here are the highlights of our time.

Day 1: Lorelai's Birthday Celebration

The day that the Brubaker's arrived we celebrated Lorelai's 7th birthday with a "Personal Pizza Palour Dinner".  As much as I LOVE baking my own bread, I had never tried homemade pizza crust.  For some reason homemade pizza crust intimidated me... but I am always up for trying my hand at new things.  And I glad I did because they were delicious!  Everyone got to make their own 9 inch personal pizza with all their favorite toppings.  We even had buffalo chicken and margherita- which is my personal fave!  I love to cook and bake so it is always an activity I like to do with the girls.

Putting all her favorite toppings on... she needed a little guidance with the banana peppers : )

The "I love pizza" face

After devouring our personal pizzas Lorelai opened her birthday presents.  Since she just got her ears pierced and was pretty pumped about it, Craig and I got her an earring holder and a gift certificate to Claire's.

I think the Hudson and Amelia were most excited about the big box and the bubble wrap.  What do you think?!

Who needs toys when a box and bubble wrap can provide so much fun... I think my Christmas shopping list just got shorter : )

Stay tuned for more Brubaker Bunch Colorado Adventure!
