Girls Weekend 2013

My best friends and I had an epic weekend staycation before all the babies are born.  It was just what we needed for Mother's Day this year.  Here are some fun pictures of us before and after our chocolate tour at Theo Chocolates in Fremont.

Entitled "Ladies in Waiting (for Chocolate)"

I call this one "Booty Call"

Guess which 3 of us had a little too much chocolate on the tour?!?!
