Sunday Snapshot: {girls’ weekend}

On Friday, the girls and I headed down to A-town to visit Victoria.



And to celebrate, once again, her recent college graduation.



Can one celebrate such an achievement too much?



I think not.



We hunkered down at my mom’s house and spent the afternoon shopping and cooking.



And then eating.



All Victoria’s favorites.



Girly food, of course.

But there was more fun in store.



A little music.



Make that a lot of music.

And then some sister time.



The girls positively adore their biggest sister.



And I think she likes them, too.

Then a little TV time…



and afterwards, the fingernail polish came out.



Everyone chose a favorite color.



Really, what girls’ weekend is complete without a manicure?



I’m not sure who had more fun, Victoria or her sisters.



Or maybe, most likely, the mom.

      Thanks, Aus! It’s a beautiful thing to witness – families made through adoption, not biology, can be simply spectacular!

    I’m pretty sure I will need the recipe of whatever it was that was wrapped in bacon. Looks delicious. Please tell me the recipe for that.

      We didn’t use the almonds, and you can substitute blue cheese if you prefer, as well.
