Sisters

My mom gets together every October with her sisters in Lansing, Michigan for a big shopping weekend.  There are four of them total.  They live in different states, but they are committed to seeing each other every year, even if it takes the help of Indianapolis dog kennels.

I think it’s pretty sweet.  When you are separated from family, it is difficult to keep in touch, but they are so important to us.  Each year, they knock out a ton of their Christmas shopping on this trip.  The cousins all draw names out of hats for gifts, but it’s the sisters who take care of all the dirty work and buy the gifts. 

I love my mom very much.  I’m glad that she gets to take this trip because it’s good for her.
