sister sneak 2009 has come and gone. it always goes WAY TOO FAST!
katie took the reigns this year and planned a fun weekend for all of the ladies. it's seems nearly impossible to find a weekend when all the women can get away but we succeeded and we had a great time.
we arrived in logan, ut just before 7 pm. katie had a class reserved just for the nine of us at a local bead shop. we had the whole place to ourselves (plus the instructors) and had pizza, soda, salad and learned how to wire wrap. we made our very own necklaces link by link. pretty cool!
around 9pm we packed up and moved the party to our hotel rooms (we stayed at the new holiday inn express that night) and got right down to business...opening our "favorite things" grab bags. SO FUN!
mom was in charge of putting the cute little bags together and did such a fantastic job. she went all out with vinyl art and used an adorable garland as the "tissue paper".
left to right...top to bottom
elena gave "three essentials every purse needs". gum, lip balm, and antibacterial hand gel.
katie gave a monogrammed journal, pen, and candy bar.
mom gave a jar of her homemade chili sauce and a halloween sit-about.
emily gave bobby pins and a super nice nail file.
amber gave scensty car candles and portable tins and brought a grab bag of estee lauder loot.
natalie made us each a cd of the songs that inspire her.
kaylin made us all carmel apples.
i gave bubblebath.
melissa brought some HUGE delectable sugar cookies.

after we emptied the bags we almost wanted to put everything back in and do it again, but instead we changed into our swimming suits and went for a much needed soak in the hot tub. soaking with your sisters is always a treat...but the conversations are even better (oh, if walls could talk)! (;
we actually went to bed kind of early (that tends to happen when sleeping-in is a rare treat) and when we woke up it was back to the bead store to finish our projects. afterward we started our drive to gardner village in west jordan, making a pit-stop in brigham city for lunch.
we spent the rest of the day in gardner village visiting all the way-too-cute shops. madalyn was also with us during this sneak and was such an angel...until gardner village. she was so ready for an undisturbed nap. poor thing! but, she was a pretty good sport.

Adorable picture of you and Madalyn. I love your hair. It looks like you cut it all off??
What a fun trip! You girls are so good to do that and you've inspired our family to start doing sister trips...hopefully next year! I don't know if I've commented yet about your daughter, but she's beautiful! I bet you're having so much fun with a girl!
How fun!! Makes me want to have sisters to do it with! :) And Madalyn is just adorable! PS - you are too photogenic! I love the pics of you - you're so cute!
