First Annual Jones Family Girls' Weekend

All of the girls! (Except me, I am taking the picture)

We pulled it off! Despite many comments from brothers and spouses, we all got away for a spectacular girl's weekend. Thanks to everyone who helped watch the kiddos while we were away. It was so much fun just to be with everyone.

Ever since I got back from girl's weekend and have mentioned it to friends, they respond with, "What did you do?" I almost can't think of what exactly we did. But the truth is, every minute was packed with shopping, eating, pampering ourselves (haircuts and pedicures), watching movies and decorating Julie's new apartment. There was even a breakfast baby shower for me, walking along the beach, games, late night chats, etc. All of this crammed into 2 and half days! I was extremely tired for atleast 3 days after I got back. It was so much fun and great to have a little getaway with the girls. I really couldn't ask for better in laws They are amazing and so fun to be around. Thanks for a wonderful weekend everyone!

Measuring for picture placement; this was the hardest part.
But it turned out perfect!

While in SoCal, I got to sneak away and go to lunch with my Mom and Sister, Kristin and her two girls, Hannah and Sydney. We talked and laughed. it was so fun to see you guys!

I'm glad you got out and got to play a little with your families! Thanks for letting us steal you for lunch. Hannah is still talking about how she could have eaten that whole burger by herself instead of sharing with Grandma!
