Annual girls trip!

Every year we do a girls trip with my sisters and mom...hopefully everyone can make it, but it's not always the case. This year Jaylynn and Shauna weren't able to come, and they were sorely missed.

We all have such AWESOME hubbies who let us get-away for a relaxing fun-filled weekend, while they hold down the fort and do a fabulous Mr mom job!!

San Antonio was our destination this year. And it ROCKED! I totally loved it. Besides the scorching heat, I would love to live there.

So, what is a girls trip without:

A visit to The Alamo while strolling through downtown and enjoying the festivities. (and being stocked by some dude who called us Charlies Angels!)

free drinks to drown us from the heat

AND

What is a girls trip without:

strolling ALONG the riverwalk, eating at a FABULOUS restaurant OFF the riverwalk, and then taking a boat ride ON the riverwalk!!

Happy birthday Andrea!

and that was the best guacamole in the world...hands down

What is a girls trip without:

visiting your brother's workplace

(seriously though, it actually was cool. USAA rocks)

Okay, back on course...

What is a girls trip without:

working on our tan's

(I don't even have one to begin with)

and watching your brother play with his child and enjoying that it's not you for once!

Of course

What is a girls trip without:

visiting the temple, and remembering what life is all about

What is a girls trip without:

eating, eating and eating to your hearts content

Hello, we have not forgotten...

And lastly,

What is a girls trip without:

Relaxing.

Enjoying each other's company.

Vegging.

Eating junk food.

Laughing your guts out.

Enjoying every moment.

Watching movies.

Lounging in PJ's.

Fashion shows of new clothes.

Making a late night run for more SPOON IT!

Making memories to last a lifetime.

I don't know what a girls trip without these things would be like. I imagine pretty boring!!

Are they the cutest or what!?

You make them with the chow mein noodles, like rice krispy treats.

Dah-ling.

We have some Easter eggs hanging as garland this like:

not quite as cute...but you get the idea And I copied the crafting chicks and made these dessert towers too.

LOVE them.

The plates and bowls are from Walmart and the candlestick holders from Dollar Tree. Just super glue them together and make your own bright adorable dessert towers.

I had my MOPS group mommies make this for their craft and they LOVED them.

Awesome idea.

And this dessert below is to die for.

Seriously. Die for.

maybe that's a little extreme but I love it

Creamy Layered Fruit Sensation

• 1 Pkg (9 oz) angel food cake
• 3 T orange juice
• 1/4 t almond extract
• 2 1/2 cups fat free milk
• 2 pkg (4 serving size each) Jello Vanilla Instant Pudding
• 1 1/2 cups thawed Cool Whip Topping
• 2 pkg (12 ozs each) frozen mixed berries, thawed

Cut cake into cubes; place in large bowl. Combine orange juice and almond extract. Drizzle over cake cubes, toss lightly. (This is the secret of the flavor, I think.)

Pour milk into another large bowl. Add dry pudding mixes. Beat with whisk 2 min or until well blended. Gently stir in one cup of the whipped topping. (I usually use a little more. Just do this to taste.)

Layer half of the cake cubes in the bottom of a 2 quart glass serving bowl or 2 quart round baking dish. Reserve a few berries for garnish. Top with layers of pudding and berries. Just layer until complete.

Then eat until gone.

Lick the bowl too!
