TSI!!!

All of us in front of the house.

Wendy (one of the birthday girls), me and Liz - just being goofy!
Liz and Kris playing air guitar!
The beautiful scenery! We hoped to get snowed in... but unfortunately it didn't happen!
All of us in front of the "gathering room" fireplace
Temple, Patty (bday girl) and Wendy (other bday girl) - a bunch of us were still up at about 2:30 am (including Temple), and the bday girls were giggling in their room, so we ran in and jumped on their bed and then "steam-rollered" them. Temple got in with them because it was dang cold!

This past weekend we surprised some friends (Patty and Wendy) for their 40th birthday by kidnapping them and taking them for a girls' weekend. We had so much fun... and they had NO idea! Secret invitations were dropped off at their houses on Friday morning, just telling them to pack and be ready at 4:15 to be picked up. Then they were picked up by "top secret agents" and driven about 2 hours to a beautiful house in the woods. About 20 minutes later, the other 11 of us arrived, and they were very surprised! We spent the entire weekend being very silly! Eating lots of yummy food, playing games, telling stories, getting and giving manicures and just enjoying being together. Now we're trying to plan what to do for the next 40th birthday.

And... only one unmentionable got frozen... and it wasn't mine... but I MAY have done it... with some goading and a whole lot of peer pressure (love you Paula and Kris!)!
