Sister's Weekend


The little guest cabin where the sisters stayed! Nikki's house is a MUCH bigger version of this little charmer!

Well...it FINALLY happened! We got to have our sister's weekend! HOORAY! What a bliss filled and totally fun weekend it was! We all met up at my little sister's house this time. She lives in a precious little log cabin in the woods. So rustic and scenic and breathtakingly beautiful! Every inch of it screams home and comfort and warmth and welcome. It was such fun to just be there and be together as sisters for a few days! Such a rare treat for us! We spent our nights sipping wine in her gazebo, listening to the crickets talk to the bullfrogs, then snuggling in cushy feather beds. We spent our days poking around little antique stores and eating yummy lunches at sidewalk cafes. We walked in the woods and marveled at the beauty around us. We debated whether or not Donna and I could really be "country" girls. We decided by the time we left that it was so very beautiful, but might be a bit labor intensive for us! We ate chocolate croissants and had fondue dinners. We debated the finer points of cilantro and child raising. but most of all we just treasured being there together and enjoying being in one another's company every second that we could be. It was so hard to say goodbye. Before I was even out of the car I was planning the next great sister's weekend out in my mind! Such great fun! How blessed am I to have such wonderful sisters in my life!

Sisters!
