Sleepovers

Auntie Angie and the kids came over for a sleepover last week. It was a little hectic for us to have all 5 of you kiddos together but it was quite exciting for you Elise. Grandma came over for a while too. We got you all dressed up in warm clothes to go outside and look at the Christmas lights around the neighborhood. We didn't realize it was pouring down rain. So, we just let you run around and play in the rain a bit. Then you came in for a warm bath. You guys had hot chocolate and kettle corn and watched Charlie Brown's Christmas. You were having so much fun with your cousins that when it came time to go to sleep you just weren't having it. Mia was trying to sleep in the big girl bed and you were in the crib but you kept your cousin up way too late. Grandma tried laying in there with you to calm you down....then Auntie Angie layed in there ... but you kept wanting to party with everyone. I had to come and get you so Mia could sleep. I took you to our room and you finally fell asleep at 11:15! 

A few days later we had another sleepover with Mia, Cannon and Chloe. We thought it would be better if we just put Mia to sleep in your room and you in the PackNPlay in our room. But, you got VERY VERY upset when we finished reading stories and took you out of your room. It took a while for you to calm down but you eventually fell asleep. We decided that you were much to young to be able to handle the excitement of Mia sleeping over. Maybe we will try again when you are a little older! When everyone woke up in the morning we took a walk to the neighborhood park. You and Mia loved hanging out with your big cousins.
