why, I believe tis my sister, Cindy!! it's only been 8+ years since I've seen her in St. Louis, but I'd recognize her anywhere. ;)

gatherings like this are a rare occasion for us, but I always walk away incredibly greatful that I have the family that I do...we LOVE LAUGHTER!! and not only was it family night but it was an impromptu girl's night as well. all us ladies took Cindy shopping at the craft store. (she bought...well, crafts. me? I bought silly straws and a stuffed toy crab to give to my honey the next time he's in a bad mood. I'll either get kicked out of the house or a belly laugh...)

and then it was back to J and J's crib for icecream and spoonfuls of chocolate fudge topping. because that? that is TOTALLY on my diet.

anyhoodle. it was a great night and here's to hoping we can make it happen a tad more often.
