In honor of the beautiful bride-to-be, Jackie we celebrated her over a weekend getaway in Galena, IL. We rented a house up in the territory and did what us ladies do best: eat, drink & laugh LOTS!
Friday night we anxiously awaited everyones arrival and got the party started with a little mexican fiesta and some games.
A bottle of tequilla later we decided it would be a good idea to throw Palmolive in the tub in the master bedroom and all sit in it. This picture is before the bubbles - I will keep my bubble pics off limits to protect those that may or may not have had their pants off :)
Saturday we enjoyed a delicious champagne brunch and opened gifts. It was such a beautiful day we were lucky enough to spend most of it outside. We'll take that any day in November in the midwest!
Getting ready to head to Galena Vineyards.

Jackie & the Aunts
The ladies!
We came back to the house after wine tasting and dinner in town for some sippin' & paintin'! We all had to bring an 'inspriational' shoe and Kristy's friend who leads the Smock parties came up to the house for some painting. For the record, it's a good thing I have a day-job because painting is clearly not my strong point. I'm still finding paint on my body in places that a paintbrush really doesn't belong.
Such a great weekend celebrating one of my favorite ladies ever, I can't wait for the big day on December 15th back in Chicago!
