It finally arrived - the weekend we look forward to all year - GIRLS WEEKEND!!!!!
The girls are always excited to have a weekend away from kids and husbands!! And since we were having the weekend at my house, they were doubly happy as they knew I would spoil them! They all enjoy coming to the mountains where it's peaceful and quiet!
Glenn had plans to go fishing for the weekend but that certainly didn't happen with the weather we had! The winter storm warning came out Friday morning for that evening!! I was hoping the girls would arrive before the snow but the storm came in a little early so it was already snowing when they arrived!!
The snow was beautiful and we were all glad we hadn't made any plans for the weekend - just staying in and relaxing!!!
Drinks are always on the agenda!! Along with 7 layer dip!
We watched a couple of movies - but actually ended up moving upstairs because after we got all settled, the DVD player in the lower level decided to act up!
We woke up to a winter wonderland Saturday morning - and it snowed the entire day!! Glenn kept the fire stocked up in the wood stove and if we got a little cool, we just turned on the gas fireplace! Most of the day we spent reading - not a big luxury for me as I read all the time!! But the girls rarely get a chance between their jobs and kids so they were thrilled to have UNINTERRUPTED reading time!!
And of course we had our computers to check - Jill and Jessi tried to do some blogging but our internet was super slow (due to the snow I assume) so they didn't get too much accomplished!!
Eating is always a big part of the weekend - Jessi had brought her homemade cinnamon rolls and gosh they were good each morning with coffee for our mid-morning snack!! I had fixed manicotti the night they arrived and we had crab salad for lunch which we all love. Chubby chicken was on the menu for dinner Saturday night (chicken mixed with cream cheese and salsa and wrapped in tortillas and fried) and both nights for dessert we had my yummy strawberry rhubarb cobbler with ice cream!!
And the snow just kept coming...................no getting in the hot tub on Saturday!
But Sunday morning we woke up to blue skies!! Darn cold though as only 10 degrees!! As soon as it got a little warmer, I scooped the deck off and we hit the hot tub!
The weekend went extremely fast!!! I was sad to see the girls leave as it's always hard to find time to just spend with THEM!! What an awesome weekend!!
