So a couple weeks ago
we celebrated Allison’s 30th birthday... first with a low key family
celebration on the grandparent’s patio, then a few days later with a SURPRISE
girls-only gathering at Cracker Barrel… sisters, cousins, cousins-in-law,
aunts, Mom, and Nanny. We were quite the party. J Here is the initial
surprise…
And this is all of us!
I (Lana) wanted to do something out of the ordinary for her
this year, and with the help of my mom, my fabulous Aunt LaLinda, and my cousin
Beka (photos courtesy of her, by the way!) we managed to pull it off. J
We had so much fun celebrating together, and we’re so
grateful for someone like Allie to celebrate! She is a fantabulous sister (daughter, cousin, etc…) and I’m so thankful for
all the fun sister memories we’ve made over the years! Late night talk-fests,
shopping expeditions, heart-to-hearts, silly notes and letters, the occasional practical
joke, learning to sing in harmony while washing dishes (our deepest apologies to the rest of the
family!), the prestigious “National Honesty Week” club (more info available
upon request), and 101 other things. We love you, Allie!
Love the post, Lana! So fun for you to do that for Allie's birthday!!
ReplyDeleteI want to hear more about this club deal. please. sounds most intriguing. =)

How fun!!! And Happy late (okay...VERY late!) Birthday, Allie! I am requesting more info on this Honesty club. ;)

Ok, so since y'all asked...the "National Honesty Week" came about in the Wilson girls' bedroom several years ago, when one or the other of us (can't remember who!) was having an uncommon amount of difficulty deciding on an outfit. And did NOT want a "nice, but slightly untrue answer" to the How-does-this-look question. So she said, "Is this National Honesty Week?? Good. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS OUTFIT???" And thus it began. National Honesty Week has never ended :) Anyone needing a brutally honest opinion on anything just declares it to be NH Week to make sure they get an unbiased answer ;)

LOVE IT!!! This is an amazingly genius idea! Gotta try this... Although I *usually* don't have any trouble telling my family what I think about their clothes...But that's just me. HAha!
