As a kid, I loved having my friends spend the night at my house. Mom would always make great treats and we would stay up all night playing dress-up, dollies, games and lots and lots of screaming?! I don’t remember that part and bless my parents hearts, if we were crazy, excitable girls. My daughter truly does not ask for much, an occasional doll but nothing huge (I am sure this will change) but I knew the one thing that would make her most happy is time with her buds. So, my gift to her is her first sleepover! The girls have had a blast, we started out with a date at Build-a-Bear, dinner at McDonalds (after the girls protested as I drove up to Chick-fil-et) came home and the girls wanted to get into their PJ’s immediately. I held them off until about 7:00 PM after we had cake, gifts and some playtime. I guess at slumber parties all the rules are void, right? I sure hope so, because shortly after PJ’s, the girls then decided it would be fun to go outside and twirl and play in their PJ’s.
The best part is at this age, they allow me to be part of the fun. I have laughed with them even got in the sand with them!!!! Oh to be a kid again!
