Pajama Party

This past weekend my niece, Ashlie, had a sleepover with me. We started out with grilled cheese sandwiches and watched Princess and the Frog in our pj's while cuddling on the couch. She was then determined that we put on some music and dance around the house. Of course we did it. We read stories before bed and for the next hour or 2 Ashlie had a million questions. Can I have a drink? I'm thirsty. I'm hungry. When is it morning? Can we read more stories? Can we watch Veggie Tales?..... She proceeded to tell me, "I can't sleep....I have too many questions." Haha! She fell asleep around 11pm and I headed off to bed.

I was hoping she'd sleep in until 8 or so, since she's usually the one that sleeps in longer since she takes so long to fall asleep. However, around 6:30 I hear little feet running on my tile. I wake up to Ashlie standing in my doorway staring at me. She climbed in bed with me for a while and we tickled and giggled. During breakfast she told me, "This was a great sleepover!" We watched some more movies, played some games and had a great time.

As I was taking her home this was the conversation we had. "Melanie, I'm sorry I missed your birthday party." "Ashlie, you were there. Remember, it was at Grandma's house?" "Oh yeah. I forgot. I'm going to invite you to my family party AND my friend party. Cuz you're my friend! Only friends and brothers are allowed to come to friend parties." What a cutie she is! And what a fun sleepover/pajama party we had!
