sleepover party

to say we are blessed to live within twenty minutes of our entire immediate family would be the understatement of the year. not very many people can call up their sisters/brothers/parents/in-laws/grandmas for an impromptu get together in half an hour on any given day. but we can and oh, how sweet it is! the only downfall is that we have never gone to go stay at nana and papa's for the weekend...you know, have a sleepover. we were determined to change that. I packed up the boys and met my dear sister and her son at my parents for the weekend. kyle thought my quest for a real sleepover at my parents' house was bordering on insane, so he opted to stay at home...alone. not a bad gig either, I guess. although you'd miss out on this:

we had a blast watching the boys stand next to the big tub as it filled with oodles of inviting bubbles. I'm not sure what's cuter - the picture of the naked buns or the cuddly little burritos sitting on nykki's changing table. you be the judge:

beth and I stayed up late and chatted in our jammies after we had the babies tucked in for the night. henry slept at the foot of my bed and woke up a little earlier than I had planned. I'm not gonna lie: it was heavenly to scoop him up and snuggle with him as the early morning light began to creep into our room. eventually we heard the rest of the house begin to stir and so we made our way to the basement to say good morning to beth and josiah. I just love how extra happy the little ones are in the morning!

the little guys gobbled up stacks of papa's blueberry pancakes and played in their pjs until at least noon. as we indulged in a yummy lunch I wondered why we hadn't done this until now. what a great memory to make with my boys...I think we'll be planning another sleepover very soon!

Such a fun time:-) And I totally agree with 2 things you said: 1)we are SO blessed to live so close and 2) we definitely need to schedule another sleep over soon:-)

It was a fun time for us too! So let's put it on the calendar or it won't happen. We are almost always here and Auntie Nykki loves the action of her nephews here. Esp when they hang out in her bed and watch a movie with her:)
And in case you didn't know it, we also feel VERY blessed to have you all-babies,Mom's and Dad's- so close. Thank you God. Life is good!

those boys are quite the trifecta of cute! although when i realized that you and beth both also slept over i did wonder what the heck you were thinking. voluntarily skipping a kid free date night with the hubby? hmm. sounds suspicious.
