impromptu slumber party

I know – twice in one day – what is going on?!?!? Well, tonight we have a special treat – my niece, Alyssa, is spending the night. She is on Christmas vacation from kindergarten and we thought we would take advantage of that and see if she could come spend the night. Well, the girls are snuggled in the play room having a “camp out”. Alyssa and her family gave Ellie and Lily the cutest little garden house tent – we set it up in the play room and created a little bed out of it. My parents gave Ellie a sleeping bag and flashlight (along with other camping paraphernalia) which are both being put to good use tonight – in fact, I hear the flashlight clicking on and off as I write :o). They gathered a couple of books and are reading to one another. Really so cute! They are at such a sweet age where they play so nicely together and include Lily – which makes her so happy! God was so good to give Ellie Grace such a sweet cousin. What fun memories are being made! I think we have cookies on the agenda for tomorrow – after pancakes or waffles for breakfast, of course!

The evening started with a little dress up and alternating between Dora and playing in the play room upstairs. Notice Lily doing just what the big girls do!

crazy little girls!
