SO I was originally waiting to write this post until I made a movie of some videos I took down there but with the holidays and what not, it might be a while before i get around to making the movie lol.. I mainly wanted to do the movie because I'm not sure the pictures do the trip justice as to how much fun we had laughing and being the completely obnoxious sisters we are. OK, maybe they do a little bit. haha!
Anyways, Ivy and I flew down to Houston a few weekends ago for my sister Kelli's 30th birthday on Dec. 2nd. My mom watched Ivy overnight for me while us sisters took off to go shopping and to stay the night in a hotel. Kari and Kristin flew in the same day I did, and Meghan already lives in Houston.. Valerie even came into town to hang with us too, which was awesome! She rode a greyhound bus from San Antonio to meet us, while pregnant. Crazy girl. ;-) We were just missing Sarah.. maybe next time, right Sarah? :)
The weekend was the most fun I've had in a long time. And I've never done that much shopping in my life, haha.. Pretty sure we shopped from 10am all the way til 9pm at 3 different shopping areas (plus another mall the next day!) What is wrong with us?? LOL! well, most of it was us just being goofs, really.. And then you bring Christmas shopping into the mix, and not to mention, Kelli wanting to get some good shopping in for her birthday... So yes. I guess you can say we did some shopping.. some eating, and a whole lot of giggling, lol. I love my sisters and miss them already. And now for picture overload:
First stop-Katy Mills outlet mall (the best!).. Then we headed up to Harwin for some bling and knock-off stuff. Had to stop at 20 Forever, of course. ;)
Next was Kelli's Birthday dinner at The Cheesecake Factory and then we headed out for some
REAL fun, hehehe............. ooorr maybe we just ran into a teeny bopper bra store named Gilly Hicks in the galleria with little boy models standing outside their store. haha! it was hilarious. pretty sure they were all only 18 years old. They got a kick out of us (we obviously weren't one of the shy little 15 year old girls standing in line, lol) They asked Kelli if she was finally legal and if that's why we were out partying. Nice. Hope that made ya feel good, Kel. ;D After the Galleria closed, we headed off to our hotel right next door and enjoyed the rest of the night sitting in the hotel jacuzzi and eating Magnum ice cream bars. yum..
The next morning, we had to make one more stop at Memorial City Mall before heading back home to Kelli's house. After all was said and done, it was a pretty hilarious site to see. Like I said, I think there is something wrong with us. haha......
That day we were able to go watch Alexa in her first clogging performance (way to go Alexa! she rocked!) and then went to Pappasito's for dinner. It had been a while since I'd been to Pappasito's and it was ah-ma-zing. seriously. so. good. Later that night, Tyson drove into town and it was so fun to see him! We all went hot-tubbing in Kelli and Shaun's backyard. It was a blast. Then the next day we went to church, celebrated Kelli's birthday with family and just relaxed. (I did make it to Sam's niece, Whitney's choir concert at UofH where she had a solo! She was soo awesome!! Great job Whit!) Kari and Kristin flew home the next morning and I drove down with my mom to stay one more day with my parents. Mom Robinson came to visit Monday evening (and so did Tiffany later that night! love you, girl!). Then I hung out with my parents in the morning, went to lunch together, then I flew home.. back to reality.
It was quite a jam packed weekend but it was sure fun! I'm so glad I got to go visit because I knew I wasn't going to see anyone for Christmas. And it was nice that my mom was able to watch Ivy overnight for me so I could go have fun with my sisters. Thanks mom! It was my first night away from her, ever, and luckily she did great. Until next time, sisters! ;-)
Just had to include a couple final pics with some of my favorite people:
