First Annual Cousins Weekend

(My sister blogged about this already. I'm a little slow, but I still wanted to blog about it so I wouldn't forget it. HAH! Like I would forget it - it was so great.)

What do you get when you mix four girl cousins (close in age), a free hotel room (thanks Candace), a late night, and tons of food and shopping? A great time.

I'm not going to give details; I'm just going to make a list.

Lunch at Red Robin (hi Desta); Target; Borders; honey; hotel; Twilight (popcorn and drinks); buzzer from The Cheesecake Factory; Eddie Bauer (3 shirts); The Buckle; Bath & Body Works (lotion, lotion and more lotion); eating at the The cheesecake Factory (chicken piccata and Oreo cheesecake - YUM); Vanity; laughing in the dressing room; hotel; jokes about pumping milk (MOO); laughing a whole lot; talking all at once on the phone with a friend; laughing some more; staying up way too late; waking up to my sheets being hogged off of me thanks to my sister (love you Brooke!); breakfast at Mickey D's; quick stop at Smith's for a greeting card; saying goodbye (no tears - we'll do it again soon); shopping for ornaments; quick lunch at Wendy's; 3 hour drive home with iPod turned all the way up.

How's that for a fun weekend? I can't wait to do it again!

Lara Neves said...

sounds wonderful! This is where I get jealous, no sisters and no cousins near my age, or even near, period.

Did you get your Christmas shopping finished?

We had a great time, didn't we? Let's definitely make it an annual tradition! Isn't it great to be able to turn up the tunes without kids! I went to bed at eight last night to make up for the lack of sleep Saturday night.

Well Hi right back to you. Glad I made the list. Sorry it took me so long. We have family in our office now so computer time is limited and precious. Plus it's time to start cooking!
