Sleepover with Friends

Friday after preschool, I picked up Abby (a friend for Allyson), then drove in snowy weather to pick up Eli (a cousin and friend for Caden). We were originally going to go home for a little while, and then go and pick up Eli and go swimming, but because of the weather, I decided to skip the swimming and just pick up the kids and find fun things to do at home, but we decided to go swimming after all. We borrowed swimsuits for Caden and Allyson, since theirs were at home. The kids had a great time at the pool.




















































After swimming, we drove home in 3 inches of snow. (they predicted only 1 inch!)
We had cupcakes with candles, and opened gifts. Abby got a Webkinz puppy for Allyson, and Eli got an Incredible Hulk toothbrush set for Caden. The kids loved thier gifts. Caden's toothbrush set came with 2 toothbrushes, and he said, "There is one for me and one for Eli!"















































The sleepover part went okay. Eli was the first to sleep and Caden was sad because he "doesn't have anyone to talk to." Soon after, Caden fell asleep. The girls were up until midnight talking and giggling, then they went to sleep (after getting separated to help them sleep). In the morning, the boys were up at 7:30. (not too bad, since Eli tends to get up by 6.) They right away went to wake up the girls. Abby went back to sleep and slept a couple more hours. Allyson was up at 8.
Allyson and Abby wanted to be "twins" for the day with matching shirts.















For lunch, we made our own pizzas and enjoyed eating them.













After lunch, we brought Abby home. (Eli was picked up earlier in the day by Uncle Dan).
