Ava and her BFF, Claira have been begging to have a sleep over together for at least 6 months. Us parents talked it off for awhile but then finally decided that we were not going to win this and realized that if they are going to have there first sleep over we'd prefer it'd be at one of their houses anyway. So we decided to give it a go over Christmas break. The girls were SO EXCITED!! Us parents had a back up plan and made sure Claira knew that at any time her parents would come and get her if she wanted. Meanwhile the girls came home everyday from school with new plans for the sleep over. Mainly revolving around rolling Matt and I out of bed when we were sleeping, putting eye shadow on Matt while he's sleeping and dressing him in a princess dress!! Where do they get this stuff?!!
Claira came over after dinner on a Tuesday night and the plan was for her mom to pick her up the next morning. The girls played and played and honestly did a great job of including Ella as well into the fun. Around 9:30pm we decided to sit down and watch a movie to hopefully help them calm down and get ready for bed. Mom and dad need some sleep... and apparently need to lock our door at night so we don't get rolled out of bed ;) I had been sending texts to Claira's parents all evening with pictures and to let them know how things were going. I think my last text was around 10:30pm letting them know that all was well and hoping that they could get some sleep too. Just as the movie was starting to wrap up; Claira started to cry and ask for her parents. So we called and of course they didn't mind getting back out in the cold, in the middle of the night to get their "baby". To be honest, I think all of us parents were rather relieved to know that they still need us even though they act so big most of the time. Overall it ended up being a great evening for the girls but we'll give the sleep over thing a rest for a little while.
