Girls Weekend 2016

We all made it, all 9 of us.  We have 11 kids and 2 more on the way, and we were all able to get away.  We may have all gotten a text at some point that someone had a fever or someone threw up, but it didn't happen Friday, so we were all able to make it :)

Lots of sillies, lots of girl talk, lots of snacks, a few therapy tears, lots of laughs and many memories to be cherished.

Thank you to our rockstar husbands for holding down the fort so we could all attend.

Lizzy and I busted out of town around 12:30

We made it!

Slowly but surely we all started trickling in.  We hit up Happy Hour and the awesome Walleye Cakes-num num

Cheers to Kristin making it and Blue Moon

Meggers arrived!

Welle added in on the fun!

Dangerous, have you tried? I love me some Rootbeer, can't even tell it's beer. ruh roh

 Waiting for the rest of the crew to arrive

 Pyramid/selfie-stick entertainment

 Daddy rocking it with 3, even though at one point one wasn't 100%, it rotated and is still going around.

 The rest of the crew arrived, Mandy came with gifts, matching Twin Cities Live Hats :)

 Chambong

 Girlfriends

 And then we made it across the street to the Legion and rocked the Karaoke and the dance floor and the cheap drinks

 Dancing it up

 Bundled up for the 5 steps home

 A much relaxed Saturday, with a 75 minute first ever facial, wonderful.  Thank you mom!  Eventually we made it out for some pizza and beer at Benson's, 7 steps away

 Missing Kristin!--ChumRatas!

 Daddy was Super Dad, got all 3 girls dressed and took all 3 to 8:45am Mass.  Emma was happy, just didn't like being put down for the picture.  They're even Valentine Dressed Appropriately, and No, I did not lay out clothes, he's totally capable

And then I came home and Emma was pissed at me for leaving and is still letting me know it as she's afraid I'll leave again.  And we all got a case of the bad colds.  Her 2 bottom molars are still making their way in.  Should be interesting how long I have to pay for it when Daddy and I get back from our upcoming trip...

The girls' Valentine's, not sure why the pictures won't rotate correctly

 Sally's words and creativity

If you're still searching for something extra for Lent, I would recommend this great little blog {Blessed is She}.  You can sign up for their daily devotions and/or follow them on instagram.

They also have a weekly background you can download for your phone or computer, thought that was a neat little idea

Happy Friday to you and you and you!
