Girls Weekend 2011

I had a full year to prepare for Girls Weekend. That could be either a good thing or a bad thing. I choose to believe it was an awesome thing. Since the theme was "pink," naturally anything in that hue caught my eye. I filled up a dresser (and more) with pink stuff. So here we go:

SUGAR!!!!!
(Click on the above image to see it up close. What you don't see are the pink lights around the entrance to the dining room. Or the pink chair bows. Or all the pink garland and decorations hanging from the chandelier.)

Kami, Michelle, me, Laura, Carly
(Carly and Laura are pregnant with boys. How cute are they??)
We always start the girlness off with pedicures at a salon. And we used every shade of pink possible. We did our own manicures later that night while we watched "Rat Race." (and laughed our heads off)

This was the breakfast table set up outside on the patio. We had to eat lunch out here too. (The dining room table was "occupied".) And yes, I had to buy new pink dishes for the occasion. Had to.

In our new pashmina scarves, thanks to Michelle.


Cheri wasn't able to join us this year, but she put together this subway art for us. We each had an 8x10 copy and decorated a pink frame to display it in. We also blinged out some pink flip flops during our Arts and Crafts night.

Saturday morning finds us out the door at 5:00 to drive to the Coliseum for the Revlon Run. We work the VIP check-in every year. We have that DOWN!

Here we are with Arjay . {Do you recognize him from the Snickers commercials?} We made friends with him last year and he seemed very pleased that we remembered him this year. His mom even talked to Michelle for a long time. They're best friends now.

Carly and Michael

Michael was lucky enough to be able to spend a couple of the days with us. I mean, with David mostly. Both guys helped us at the Revlon Run. (we need muscles) They were good sports with this totally "girl" weekend. Not to mention that the whole house was turned into a pink show. (The bathrooms and kitchen were redecorated to be pink.) We had way too much fun, ate great food at L.A. Food Show and Saigon Dish, listened to great music, laughed a TON, shopped, (oh my gosh -- we now own new way-too-cute purses {thanks Kami!} and shoes), and we consumed lots of sugar. We were all in our happy place. All weekend. And thank you, David, for putting up with this every year. I nominate you for "Husband of the Year"! Whoop whoop.
I'm thinking about a theme for next year. Don't know how to top this one. Ideas??
