Sisters retreat in review

Ok so maybe I was a little bit wrong about the sisters retreat being relaxing and an opportunity to catch up on sleep :) We had CRAZY late nights and were out and about doing lots of things!! But sleep deprivation and all, I LOVED it. Every minute. Especially being back in my parents home with my sisters. 

I must admit I love going home to the place where I grew up. There's a feeling I get when I enter that front door that I don't feel anywhere else. A feeling of familiarity that I never tire of. And even though I have my own home now, this place of my childhood and teenager years is also still my home. And I love being there.

Some of the things that occupied our time.......

We stayed in a gorgeous hotel for a night and had this amazing view from our room. The sunset was gorgeous!

Went out to a delish Japanese restaurant and had sukiyaki ......

and sampled other delicious Japanese cuisine......

gave love to our little nieces and nephews that us Sydney sisters only see a few times a year......

 

stayed up late talking and laughing and doing a fun creative writing workshop......

Had a morning devotional about Motherhood and enjoying our children!

Went shopping.

Had some family photos taken (by my sister'n'law Alana) for my Mums birthday......

And just enjoyed being together!

I'm so grateful I get to call these beautiful women my sisters! How I wish we all lived closer!!

ps) As previously mentioned I was hoping to find my patience while I was away, and i'm happy to report that I did. I was totally patient for the first day of being home ;)
