I love being able to spend a weekend with my sisters and mom. There is nothing like just getting to be ourselves and being crazy together. My mom and I met Mindy and Shauna in Fort Macleod yesterday and then met up with Melissa at the Calgary temple. Unfortunately, Rachel couldn’t get there until afterwards for dinner.
We did a session at the Calgary temple (a first for a lot of us). It was neat to be able to do the work for five of Lennard’s relatives too.
As we came out of the temple, we had a sister going in take a quick picture of us (missing Rachel). Then, we had some Activity Day girls outside handing bags of cookies to those of us leaving the temple! It was such a sweet gesture. The cookies were a ‘touch’ hard… but it’s the thought that counts!
We met up with Rachel at the Olive Garden for dinner. I was so hungry by then that I pretty much inhaled my food!
After dinner… the craziness started! lol. It’s never dull with all of us together! Jumping on the beds, getting inventive with shower caps, playing cards, eating more snacks that any of us care to admit. It was a blast!
We finally all crashed for the night and were up bright and early… so early that the malls weren’t open when we got there! oops! Thankfully, Costco opened within ten minutes of us getting there, so we shopped there first. Of course, the best part of the toy aisle is seeing if you can get all the toys on at the same time! Ha! Ha! I’m sure there were some employees glad to see us leave that aisle!
We headed over to the Cross Iron Mills Mall afterwards and had fun checking out all the different stores. Mom got almost all the grandkids Christmas presents bought. It definitely helped to have all the moms there telling her what their kids would like/need!
We shopped until we dropped… quite literally! We were so tired! We managed to get back to the hotel, get a bit of a break and then change into our church clothes so that we could go meet up with Aunt Marilyn for the General Woman’s broadcast. It was an excellent meeting and fun to catch up with Aunt Marilyn.
We all went to sleep a lot earlier that night than the night before! Rachel had to get up early so that she could drive back to Cranbrook in time for church. The rest of us left in good time, although I didn’t make it back in time for church! It was such a fun weekend. I am so blessed to have such amazing sisters and mom that are my best friends.
