Sisters, Sisters there were never such devoted sisters!

 

This past weekend I was given an amazing gift!!! I was able to spend the whole weekend with ALL FOUR of my awesome sisters! We have not been all together since my wedding five years ago! That is way to long in my opinion! My gracious sister Melissa let us all come crash her house in Vegas. I brought all of my babes, my oldest sister brought her baby, and we enjoyed some time with Melissa's brood. Thank goodness for our wonderful cousin B for coming to baby sit so sister craziness could ensue! We spent SO much time laughing! We are a hilarious group if I do say so myself. I have to say I stopped to think a few time throughout the weekend and I am so amazed by my beautiful family! All four of my sisters are awesome! We ALL get along, we ALL have the same beliefs and passion for our Faith, we ALL love our babies so much, it all just amazes me! Seems quite out of the ordinary to me!

 

Carolyn. My beautiful amazing sister! The most calm mother of NINE I have ever met! I admire your wisdom and faith so very much! You never judge and are always so kind and compassionate in your advice giving! Plus you are an awesome chef! So beautiful inside and out!

 

Melissa. A-MAZ-ING! You rock my friend! You crack me up on an hourly basis. My over the phone therapist for all things from babies to husbands to how to get any stain out of any article of clothing! You are such an awesome, kind, empathetic, generous, and beautiful woman and mother! You truly are my mama bear and sister at the same time! Plus you taught me every thing I know ;)

 

Erin. My Maid-of-Honor. You bring joy to my heart! You are so kind and always so positive! You never have anything bad or negative to say about anyone, always looking for the good! I admire that so very much about you! I also LOVE laughing with you! Nobody laughs as hard or true as you do and it is always contagious and fantastic!

 

Kathryn. I stole your spot as the baby. You weren't happy about it than, but I am pretty happy about it now! You are a creative person! I LOVE that about you! Always finding beauty in what other people think of as garbage, I am amazed every time! You have wit and humor in your soul. You are always there for some venting and/or laughter and/or over the phone wine date with me and I am so appreciative of that!

 

Me. I would not be me if it weren't for my sisters! I have spent my life watching, listening, learning, how to be a woman/mother/wife/friend/sister from all of you! I will never be able to thank you enough or express quite how I feel about the 4 of you women! I am constantly blown away by all of your selfless attitudes & generous hearts and by your strong commitments to your marriages, children, vocations, and faith. I am so very blessed!

 

CHEERS to sisterhood!

 

 

ok ok enough with mushy sentiment.... We laughed SO much! We shared in so much delicious food, drinks, conversations, and laughter! I know I said that already, but man I love to laugh and I especially LOVE to laugh with my sisters! I mean who wouldn't want to laugh with someone who knows them inside and out, them ladies my blood!

Kathryn is so shy



me, being bossy, Carolyn..... the dwarf?



Kathryn you can't be front and center ALL the time!



Still trying for the right shot

There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall and the bells on the steeple too......

 

WE DID IT!!!

 

From Taboo, to garage saling, to fantastic fancy dinners out, gambling, Mass, every minute was enjoyable! It is such a blessing to have built in friends! And built in body guards..... trust me, you do NOT want to mess with me or my sisters! We love each oher and we do not let eachother get hurt without putting up a fight!  Seriously don't mess with us :)

Don't worry Carolyn it goes full circle, we got your back too!

 

We are sisters, we are wives, we are friends, we are mothers (29 kids between us and counting!) and I couldn't ask for better role models in my life!

Our honorary sister B

sister=built in friends, cousins=build in buddies!

I love you all and all your babies!! An extra shout out to Grandmother & Pa and all my kick booty brothers-in-law for letting us all be together! I really hope we can make this an annual thing!
