Best Friend Weekend in Columbus

Katie Gardner, RoseAnna Batty and I have been best friends since our wild and crazy dorm days as Snow College freshman way back in 2000.  We have managed to stay close despite the fact that we have never, ever lived in the same cities (and now states) since the glory days.  Needless to say, it's a rare, rare occurrence for all three of us to get to spend time together but the stars aligned and it happened for 4 glorious days the first weekend in November.  RoseAnna flew out to Columbus where Katie lives and I drove out and met them there.  We had such a blast acting like we were college freshman again, doing things like dressing up to go pick up RoseAnna from the airport, having dance parties and staying up into the weeeee hours of the morning talking.  It was perfection.  The following are a few pics from the trip.  (Sadly, I did not take nearly enough pictures.  Too busy having fun I guess!)
 Carolyn-Kate was so darling with the babies.  They loved playing with her!
 RoseAnna's baby, Sophie, is exactly 2 weeks older than Ava and they are the best of friends already
 A lovely lunch at Max and Erma's
 Ava and Sophie were holding hands in the car - for real.  We didn't pose them like this, I swear!

 Who are those good lookin' dudes you ask?  Oh, just Katie and me all dressed and ready to go pick up the Batty girls from the airport.  We have a tradition of going to the airport dressed up, so of course we had to do it this time too!  (It was actually quite disturbing how little time it took us to look like this.  What does that mean?)
Best Friends

What a wonderful weekend!  Too bad it can't happen more often, but we certainly live it up when we get the chance!  Here's to next time ladies!
