MamaLu: Sister visits and a birthday.

My sister, Kianna, came to visit! This was cause for much celebration as it was her first meeting with Thomas. He instantly loved his "nana" (the name we've called her since childhood) and they took to each other like peanut butter and jelly. Or if you're us, chile sugar powder on watermelon lollipops (don't ask).

Sister bonding is good, good food for the soul. We talked our faces off all the while taking good care of the little dude, of course. Speaking of taking care, she's a natural. It got to the point where she'd walk in the room and Thomas would smile. Let me tell you, that's a true test and she passed with flying colors.

We went to visit our other sister, Kira, at CSU, and ate at the infamous mexican restaurant, The Rio Grande; infamous for their margs... based on experience. We also stopped by to see our brother, Cody, at CU Boulder where we perused Pearl Street and made an obligatory stop at Rocket Fizz where we indulged in the aforementioned chile watermelon lollipops. We took walks and shopped and watched one too many episodes of Once (so dang good).

The last day of her visit happened to be my birthday! We celebrated with morning waffles at Waffle Brothers, followed by some thrifting/flea marketing at the Horseshoe Market. Later that evening, friends and family gathered for a special dinner at Tamayo. A perfect day, in my book.

Trip 29 around the sun is going to be grand. Thanks sis for coming to visit! We miss you!
