sister weekend

 
 
Snapshots from our sister weekend. . .
 
my sister-in-law Marlys and I threw a little "thank you" party for
my two youngest sisters, Abbie and Elizabeth
 
They are continually babysitting, cleaning, stopping by to help, endlessly cheerful
and just plain unselfish.  Last year we all took them out to Biaggi's-
 
this year we had dinner here and then spent the next day shopping
 
we sent invitations with menus from Francesca's (local Italian restaurant) and instructions to order
 
so fun to be together.
 
I kicked Daniel and the kids out  of the house for the weekend *wink wink* and made the kids bedrooms into little retreat - rooms (in other words, piled all the toys in the closets)
It was so much fun.
 
When Lydia got here we ran to the library and raided it for every girl - book imaginable to have sitting out 
 
Seventeen Guide to Style
What not to Wear
1001 Questions to ask Before You Get Married
Bakerella
Picnic Foods
 
we started out with pedicures from the last salon open in town.
 
 
it's kinda fun to set a table for adults ;)
