Scrapbooking Retreat

Every January, for the last 6 years, a group of women from our ward organized a "retreat." We go to a huge ranch house for two days and two nights. It started out as a scrapbooking retreat but has now evolved to just a women's retreat. While the majority still scrapbook till the wee hours of the morning, others come to play games, visit, and just relax. I like what my friend Kelly said: "Basically we act like teenagers for the weekend!" It is something that I look forward to each year. I will endorse Kelly's campaign to add one more day!!!













Yes, I am still in my pj's!











Lot's of fun playing all sorts of games!















Even made time for a little Rock Band.

I had a blast too!!! I know I talk to you all the time, but it was nice to actually spend some time with you. We need to get together without the kids more often!

So for some reason I just figured that sweet Jill wouldn't be the type to rock out to Rock Band. It was fun getting my butt kicked by you on guitar! If I ever start a band, you're totally in! ;) But only if we get to use our Fisher Price looking guitars.
