Our Grown Up Slumber Party

Yep, you read me right! We had a grown up slumber party. What do you do when you want to get together with friends but your children have early bedtimes? It seems, you just start to have good after dinner conversation and then they have to pack up and head home for bedtime. A couple of our local friends pointed out how lucky our out of town friends were because they got to linger after dinner, play games etc. go to bed and then get up and share a lovely breakfast - they wanted in on the action. So after months of talking about it, we finally did it! Last night our friends Zach and Suzi along with there 16 month old son, Luke and dog, Ada came over for a slumber party. We dined on homemade egg rolls and fried rice, let the kids and dogs play until bedtime and then stayed up a smidge later ourselves laughing over a game of Scattergories. This morning, the kiddos awoke Suzi and I at 5:15 am - no, they have not quite grasped the concept of sleeping in after a proper slumber party! Zach and Ian went for a run and Suzi and I prepared a lovely breakfast of Croque Madames and fruit salad. Needless to say, it was fun to get to hang out for more than just 1-2 hours at a time! The boys happened to have matching jammies so I couldn't resist getting a few shots of them. They're gonna be as great of friends as their dogs and folks are!
