A Sunday with the knowledge of another day away from the office is always a good day, indeed. After a relatively lazy morning, we got out the door sans directions and slowly made our way to Old Town Arvada for brunch with some good friends at Udi's Pizzeria. Several hours of fantastic food and conversation passed quickly. Lucy thoroughly enjoyed the whip cream from Dad's french toast. Across the street from Udi's lies the Scrumptious candy store filled with every candy imaginable, including all kinds of esoteric bars and brands from years gone by. It is also the only place in Denver where I've found chocolate-covered gummy bears. Needless to say, I restocked our household supply which had dwindled to empty.

With Lucy's eyes fluttering, we left Arvada and headed for home. Post-nap, we resumed our lazy Sunday and turned our focus to food. Lucy is now sitting in her (very cool) high chair and has just begun to eat yogurt. By the end, she's a very happy mess. As hard as it was to abstain from joining Lucy, I decided to make a garlic and rosemary roasted fryer chicken, which turned out to be pretty spectacular. We caught a little of the Jets win, bobbed our heads to Pandora, read a little, then settled in to watch The Social Network. Originally, I had not been very excited to see it because I knew much of the story, but it was well done and generally entertaining. Somehow Kel managed to make it through the entire movie without falling asleep.

Because of MLK day, Kel and I will get to enjoy one of our first dates since Lucy was born - Sushi Den then The King's Speech at Landmark Theatres.
