What do you do when the boys (your spouses and male children) are gone to Preisthood session? Well, this started a few years ago for us, not sure why it did not start sooner, but, my cousins, aunt, mom, and sister head for dinner then the mall.
Did I remember to take my camera? Actually, yea.
Do you think I used it to take any pictures? Nope. It occured to me a couple of times to take it out of my purse and take some pictures, but I did not.
Do you know what is funny though? Well, okay there are a bunch of things that are funny. First, we have quite a few of us that go. We take our kids that do not go to Preisthood session, so we end up hooking table together. But, we are not the only ones that have a table full and a huge table.
Now, why do ask did we need such a big table? I have not told you how many of us there are. First let's start with the adults. There are my 3 cousins and their mom - so that make four. Next, there is my sister and my mom - so far we are up to six adults. Then there is me - seven adults. But here is where it gets great - we are out numbered by children that go with us. There were 13 children!
But you know what? It is such a great night. We share laughs, and all the second cousins get to visit and have fun. Not to mention that they are all close in age - which is great.
After dinner we usually end up at the mall. This is where the fun goes out of control. Tonight we made a quick stop at the mall - but it was still crazy. Purple curtains - sheer curtains - with ruffles all over them - my cousins said that I needed them for my room. I agreed ( not ) - they reminded me of a certain something I had after Brent and I were married (need I say more). They were butt-freaking (pardon the language) ugly. I would love to see the persons room that has them in it. We laughed when I said what they reminded me of. After our quick stop at the mall to look at curtains, we came back to my messy house and had fun. Thanks guys for the chocolate - lots of chocolate - all my favorite candies!
It always ends up being such a fun night, and I am not sure about them, but I think that they would agree, we or I at least look forward to each Priesthood session because I know that we are going to get together - all the girls - and just have a fun girls night out. They guys come back spiritually uplifted so that soften the blow when we tell them all the money has been spent at the mall - totally kidding - we do not spend all the money, we usually leave a dollar or so.

Sounds like a blast!! You're brave to take that many kids out to eat!! I got together with my sisters, but it was much smaller, just the 4 of us. Still fun, tho'.
I was a little disappointed about the clothing situation, or the lack thereof. Next year we need to come up with some creative way of getting our moms to dress up. That would be a hoot.
