The past couple of weeks I've been really sick and Bethany has wanted to have a sleepover. So last night I went over and picked her up and she came over. We went to Wal-Mart and picked up some essentials for a sleepover... nail polish, oreo's, etc. She had put in her request for pizza for dinner so we headed home and did our nails while we waited on Grandma and Grandpa (Nick, Amy, and Calire as well) to arrive with the pizza. While they baked we all played some Hi-Oh Cherrio's, it's her new favorite game. We just hungout afterwards and watched some TV. Then it was off to bed where Bethany was too excited about her first sleepover to sleep. I tried getting her in bed at 8:30 (let's be for real she's almost 4 so that's late to her) but she just laid there and laid there. I would be laying there and she'd pop up and ask me what I was doing and I'd tell her to go to sleep. So around 10 o'clock she finally asked for me to get in her bed with her... in her sleeping bag. I agreed as it is her first sleepover away from home that she actually is aware of, she's spent the night several times when she was a baby, but this was different. As soon as I got in bed with her she was out cold. Then about 5:30 came around and there's this little girl in my face... "is it time to get up?" :) "Not yet Bethany, go back to sleep... ok" Around 7:30 we finally stumbled out of bed and found Grandpa to put in our Breakfast Order. Pancakes! YUMMY!
Afterward we played some games with Grandma and helped Grandpa fx one of her chairs. Then one last game on the computer, then it was time to head back home. Overall Bethany and I had a blast at our first real sleepover together. Being the single aunt is fun because I get to do things the others don't :) I love little Bethany... well I guess she's not so little anymore. Thanks for playing with me this weekend!

Glad you had such a fun time! I know Bethany did. Thanks for being such a fun Aunt :)
It was a lot of fun having Bethany around and I know it was more fun for her with you here too! Thanks for doing so much with her! :)
What a fun night, she looked liked she was having a blast while we were there. Way to be a great Aunt, I can't wait till you and Claire are doing that (even if your married by the time shes that age...) :)
FUN, I wish we were close enough that Rylee could come do something fun like that with you! What a cool Aunt! ;)
