Spend the Night Party....

Ellie's BFF Alex came over on Friday afternoon to spend the night. Ellie stayed with Alex and her family when we were in Vegas and we have been looking forward to a time when we could start to pay them back for keeping her for 3 nights. Friday was a perfect time! We picked Alex up after school and headed home- first request- homemade cookies! So, we ran to the grocery store to get the few things we needed- of course when given the option of M&M's or chocolate chips- they each picked something different. So, we made M&M/Chocolate Chip cookies! The girls did a great job- from cracking the eggs and taking turns to tasting the dough before baking it! We had a great time!



Friday night we headed out to meet up with friends at the Moes on campus and then head to the UF Women's volleyball game. The girls were so cute- they got dressed up in their matching UF cheerleader outfits. As we were walking they were shouting "Go Gators" and Ellie's favorite- "Go Tebow!" Students were watching us and laughing- not sure if they were thinking- I'm never having kids or maybe it was- wow, those are 2 cute little girls!

They enjoyed the excitement of the volleyball game but were really too tired to last through the first game. So, we headed home for a good nights sleep. You'll notice that Alex and Ellie both still have their paci! One of their many similarities! After separating them until each were asleep, I put Ellie back in her bed and all were happy by 9pm! I did wake to chatter at 4:30am to find them sitting up, talking...but, after bringing them back to my bed, we all went back to sleep!



We again got all dressed up on Saturday to tailgate and hear the band before the football game! The girls had a great time in the bounce house, bounce slide, climbing a tree, and just shouting for the gators!





We took Alex home and Ellie didn't even make it back to our house before falling asleep for 3 hours!


We look forward to our next spend the night party....

Look at that-- Best friends in the making-- so fun to have these memories from such a young age. Payten has had a friend (Kylie) since they were both 2 and they are still BFFs and still have a special connection 5 years later....
