Crystal Beach, TX....

I was fortunate to be able to join in for a fun ladies weekend at Crystal Beach this weekend!! What a good time we all had with LOTS of laughs!! It was with my mom's side of the family, and all of the ladies were invited (grandmothers, moms, sisters, aunts, cousins, etc). The great thing is that my mom has a REALLY big family, (as my grandmother had 11 brothers and sisters), and it is super fun to get everyone together. :)

My mom rented a fabulous and spacious beach cabin in Crystal Beach, and all were invited to partake in the fun. :) We had ladies of all ages eating great food, telling stories from days past, drinking wine, playing Keno, watching movies, walking the beach, and getting in some good R&R. It made me realize how blessed I am for three reasons:

1) I am a part of a large family that thinks that these kind of weekends are very special, and they make it a priority to be there and bond with each other.

2) That I have an amazing mom that is so good at organizing and bringing people together for super fun events like this one.

3) That I have a wonderful hubby that will keep my 6 month old son all by himself for the whole weekend...just so I can be gone for 3 days of fun. :) You are the best Chris! :)

Here are some pics of the good time.. :)
