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 ;)
