You don't make pumpkin pie with graham cracker crust...

This post is way overdue so if you read any of my friends blogs, which, who am I kidding-they are really the only people who read mine...I'm posting this for posterity's sake. I want documentation also.

My dear college friends had our annual gathering this year at Ali's house. She won the prize because she had an infant who was very small. Even though we all know very small infants are the most portable of all kids. Now that I think about it she totally should have had to travel. Oh well.

Cramming two infants and five adults into an SUV. I was the selfish one in the passenger seat. Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have been in the passenger seat. Oh well.

Abby and Reese-who is officially not invited on anymore girls trips. At least for like, 16 years.
The cuties in their jammies.
Let me preface this by saying I couldn't love Ali more. She is one of the smartest and most caring people I know. But not quite as into cooking as some. She wanted pecan pie-and as the host-she was in charge of groceries. I thought it was weird when I told her Pillsbury pie crust and she told me she couldn't find that and got another brand...well it turns out this was what she bought and I was the only friend mean enough to tell her it wouldn't work. This still makes me chuckle. Love you, Al! And loved our late night run to Giant Eagle to rectify the problem. :)

Reesy making the rounds...love from Jenny!
Martha Stewart's pumpkin chocolate chip bars. But don't let the recipe fool you, it calls for one cup, not one can. Who knew.
The group photo.
The more realistic group photo.
The morning we left. Mmmm. Nothing like a good morning shot.
Love this pic of Reese hugging Ali goodbye.
God is good to give us friendship that last many years, many states, many trials, and thankfully, many advances in technology. Love my girls!
