my hubby had a few jokes about having 16 girls in one bed


it was 110 degrees that day (a little warm for photos, but we don't sweat,we glisten)

Girls Weekend Part One

I am finally posting some photos from our 40th Girls Weekend!! I must apologize in advance-some of the photos are not great, my photography skills are extremely lacking. However, the important part is we had an incredible time! We have all been friends for almost 30 years (28 to be exact)! Five of us started the morning with manis & pedis & drove up to Scottsdale, (with a quick stop at Sprinkles to pick up our cupcakes) and checked in to the Hotel Valley Ho.

We had one "party" suite and 4 guest rooms for all the girls. We set the girls pj's, flip flops, and "dog tag" necklaces at the foot of their bed. (in some of our photos you can see our tags, they were engraved with "Girls Weekend 2010" & the other side read "circa 1970" which is the year we were all born).


we set up our version of the mini bar


& our snack bar for the late night pj party



after an afternoon down by the pool, we headed down to Trader Vic's for dinner & mai tai's


love my girls




chillin' at our pj party


carrie & susie making our yummy "taste of paradise" cocktails


the next morning, we needed plenty of this before heading down to the pool


hanging out poolside


that night we had dinner at banderas


table two


table three


went out for a few more drinks & dancing



We had such a great time-so much fun we are already planning our next weekend! It was so great to be with all the girls! We also had a photographer come out & take pictures-I will be sharing those with you as soon as I receive them!

Cute or not cute?

Flip Flop Favors

Working on the flip flop favors for our girls weekend this morning....


I added a silver & crystal embellishment to dress up plain flip flops from Old Navy


I am thinking of adding a tag that reads "Can't believe were FLIPPIN' 40!" What do you think-tag or no tag?
