pRieSthoOd giRls niGhT






Every year for priesthood meeting we get together with the ladies and have a girls night out. Sometimes it is just a few or sometimes we get everyone. This is one of my favorite nights of the year. I just love my cousins, and My family so it is always fun for me.

This time we went to Abi's house. She has one of the most fabulous kitchens ever. It was big enough to accommodate all the kids at the island and the adults at the table. Thanks Abi for letting us all come down. I love your home, and you of course.

My kids don't have cousins yet on my side so we have kind of adopted the Cracroft kids as our cousins. JJ and Brooklynn are the same age, Emma and Maddie are the same, and Ellie has about 7 to choose from. My kids love when we go with them.

I feel bad because my kids don't have what I had. I had a ton of cousins on both sides. No matter where we went I knew I would be playing the whole time. That is why when JJ and Emma asked to have a sleep over I knew I had to let them. I have such good memories of sleeping over at the Cracroft's or at my house. Aunt Marilee would always make delicious German Pancakes and Uncle Tod would always tell an incredible bed time story about Princess Megan and Princess Calee. My house was just as fun. I wish that my kids could do things like that. It was great to have Brooklynn and Maddie stay over. I just love those girls.

I felt awful Brant wanted to stay over as well, and I didn't have enough room in my car as it was. We will have to let him another time.

That looks so fun and I love the pictures. We (some friends) do something similar the weekend of the father/son campout. Girls and Moms give each other mani/pedis and eat ice cream, etc
