Dallas Friends Weekend

We were thrilled to continue our annual Dallas Friends Weekend tradition this month. Amanda, Dana, Katherine, and I have been friends for decades, and it's a rare opportunity for all four of us to be able to get together. We had a short but amazing visit in the Dallas area as we enjoyed our precious time together. Here's a recap of our awesome weekend in pictures and captions.

Dana, Katherine, and Amanda: so blessed to call them my high school besties!!

We arrived late Friday at Katherine's house and the kids immediately took off playing without missing a beat. After settling in for bed, everyone was excited to have a full day Saturday to play and catch up.

We all went to a local trampoline place to let the kids run around and play. It was COLD outside but all of the kids were hot and sweaty within minutes of fun at JumpStreet!

The Moms got started on all the catching up!

Sarah and Kaitlynn were never far apart the entire weekend.

Here's all the 9 kiddos minus sweet Roo who wasn't interested in sitting for a picture (who could blame him?) :-)

Jacob, Connor, and Luke struck a pose on the trampolines for me.

After finishing up at JumpStreet, we had lunch together as a group. Then the Dads took all the kids back to the houses for naps/rest time while the Moms went shopping and had some much-needed catch-up time. It was SOOO nice to spend time together!!

Later that day, we all met back up at Dana's house for our annual kids' book exchange and family dinner. Such a great way to wrap up our visit.



My sweet friends and I. Love these girls!




Success! All 9 kids before the book exchange.

Smile, kiddos!

Kaitlynn loved her Princess book from Sarah!

Cheers to an awesome weekend together!
