Scrapbook Weekend . . .

All of the sisters, daughters, and friends have gone and the house is very quiet and empty! The last five days have been so much FUN . . . it was good to have a houseful again.

It was our annual "Sister's Scrapbook" weekend and as usual it went by way too fast. We scrapped at home, scrapped at the store, ate out alot, stayed up late, laughed, shopped, cooked, and scrapped some more. Alan, my brother-in-law, was able to get in several days of golf, but also spent time relaxing in front of the television. Jen outdid herself again with her gynormous cinnamon rolls and housekeeping skills. Shelie outdid herself with an incredible pork roast. Michelle outdid herselft with a fun class and some way cute Halloween and Christmas swaps. Cindy outdid herself with no sleep and lots of stitching. Micah outdid herself with learning new scraping techniques and trying new foods. Sue outdid herself by staying up later for more days than she ever has in the past. Lauren definitely outdid the rest of us by completing 55 scrapbook pages. And Sandy outdid herself by not crying when the computer crashed on Sunday. Miss Jenna Rose outdid herself by hanging out with the girls and writing some sweet letters to everyone.

It was a great time . . . the bad thing is we did not take many pictures. Can you imagine that? Scrapbookers not taking pictures? We must have been too busy trying to get STUFF done!

For me it's going to be an early night . . . I have several days of sleep to catch up on and tomorrow the real world is waiting for all of us. To my sisters, daughters, Alan, and friends . . . I love you guys!
