Addie's First Sleepover

Addie Grace has been asking

for almost 2 years now to have a friend sleep over.

I've been successful

at thwarting her attempts

thus far,

but this summer

I finally felt

like she was old enough to handle

the late nights

and early mornings

that always come from friends staying over.

Crista was invited to stay over at a friend's house so I felt

it was the

perfect opportunity

for Addie to have her very first friend spend the night!

 

First up,

building a tent!

The girls wanted to sleep under the tent

so we got it all ready and secure.

 

 

They watched a movie before turning out the lights.

I was so surprised

how quickly they fell asleep.

They were perfect!

 

The next morning

Daddy went and got donuts and chocolate milk

for breakfast.

What a sweet treat that was!

 

The girls played all morning

while I cleaned the house.

They played so well

that,

at times,

I forgot they were even there!

Seriously, they were SO quiet.

 

After lunch

we decided to head to the pool.

The day was hot and water was cool.

It was the perfect way to end the day!

 

 

 

I am so glad that Addie Grace has found

such a sweet friend!

God has certainly blessed both girls

with wonderful friendships!
