Mother, Sister, and Me

This weekend we had a mother-daughter trip to the States. We do this every year and I am so grateful that we do. They are some of the best memories I have with them. It's a great time to be silly, laugh, have great conversation, and catch up.

A few best moments of the weekend:

• Kim screaming "CAR, CAR!"
• Mom buying the most fabulous purse
• Going in the hot tub with Kim and talking
• Falling asleep Saturday night
• Getting emails from Derek about my beautiful baby
• Missing my baby every time I saw a little boy
• Watching my mom find all the fall/Christmas decorations
• Finally getting a leather jacket after wanting one for a year
• Watching Kim do her homework (what an amazing university student!)
• Missing cuddles from Derek
• Getting all dressed up to go out for dinner
• Having chocolate cake after wanting a piece for a month and a half (thanks Kim)
• Having some bubble tea and hot chocolate (not together)
• Finding some material to make curtains for Anders' room
• Watching an old show that I used to watch (as in the 90's) and mom and Kim loving it
• Eating crab and watching how fast Kim could get at the meat
• Loving my mom

What are some of your favorite family traditions? What are some things to do to help you become a closer family? I love ideas!
