A GREAT Surprise...

sunshine and WARMTH!!! A couple weeks ago, Ryan said we were going to our friends house for dinner with a few other couple friends. I knew he was up to something cuz he never plans stuff like this! But the guys wanted to get us all together so they could give us an envelope...with an itinerary for THE LADIES to go to Naples, Florida!!! It was sooo amazing. I LOVE the sun and what a great gift to get some sunshine and good quality time w/ my mom friends. We were most excited for the warmth....and then also that we'd be able to have complete conversations without interruptions from our lovely kiddos! Poor Andrea ended up not being able to make it since she had a 3 month old...guess we'll just have to go again sometime!!! :) :) :)

My friends Jenn, me, Heidi, and Desirae (We stayed at Desirae's in-laws condo in Naples - it was so great!)

Lovin' the sun at South Beach in Marco Island
Ready for a night out on the town...
And not only did our guys send us to Florida in the dead of winter, but they also surprised us with flowers delivered to the condo door! THEY ARE KEEPERS!!!!!!
Yes, we took a picture of our luggage. We were just so proud of ourselves that we didn't have to check ANY baggage. :)
And here we are making our sad faces because we didn't want to leave the relaxation and sunshine. :)
So we had to buy this palm tree necklace to remind us of the warmth when we got back to our 7 degree blizzard. :)

BUT...of course we missed our amazing hubbies and children.....and it definitely doesn't feel like Christmas in Florida.....so it's nice to be back. We met four ladies from WI in their fifties at the airport who were also on a girls trip. They do it annually and said we should too!!! :) They were so cute and fun and I HOPE we can do that too! THANKS FOR A SUPER FUN, REFRESHING TRIP BOYS!!!!
