Sister's Weekend

10/10/09: Last weekend we had our annual Sister's weekend. It was held at my house this year. We had so much fun. Marianne flew up from Ca, and Deanna drove up from UT, and the rest of us were already here. Except for Desi, she was stuck in CA with work and was not able to get away, but we made some crafts to send to her so she does not feel too left out. Desi we missed you and thought of you often. Next year you will be here. It was so much fun to hang out and do a bunch of crafts, and eat and cook, and veg.

Not the say that we did not biker and gripe at each other, but that is what we do as sisters. My mom kind of planned the most of it with a little help from Deanna. Marianne made a Yummy pasta dish for dinner on Friday night and my moms good friend Lisa Corn came over and taught us how to sew. We all made jammie pants. Some turned out better then others, and some of us caught on to sewing better then others. It was quite entertaining. Then the next morning we made pumpkin kitties, and picture frames with our initials in them with decorative paper in the background. Hung by cute simple black bows. You would have to see them in person to appreciate them. We made yummy BLT's for lunch and ate a bunch of candy too!!!!!

It is nice to get away from the kids and husbands for a while and let go of our normal responsibilities, and just veg with our sisters. (of course with this function being at my house, my kids popped in from time to time) We laughed and joked and made fun of each other and my mom of course. Friday was a late night and I think we were all delirious by the end of the night. But still had so much fun.

I truly enjoyed spending time my mom and each of my sisters and my sister-in-law. I am looking forward to it next year. I have volunteered to plan it, and I am excited to get started and have it be a surprise and be so much fun. So be on your toes girls for next year.

Love you all!!!! And thanks for a great day!!!
