a first & some sledding

We accomplished a first around here.......and it was a big success!!  What was it, you ask?  Our kids' first friends sleepover!  
Yep we did it :)!  
I think the keys to success were to invite family friends, to keep it super small, and to keep them busy.
I even see more sleepovers in our future!

This was actually Avery's sleepover to help celebrate his 8th birthday, that is tomorrow.  Wow, the big 8, but more on that in another post.  Avery invited 2 close friends to join us for some games at Chuck E. Cheese (games only because their pizza is not good), then we picked up some pizza & a movie on the way home.  The boys spent the rest of the night eating pizza, wrestling, opening presents, sword combat, ice cream sundaes, cowboy shooting, movie watching, and more wrestling.  Yeah I think a girl sleepover may go a little different than this, but we do love our boys around here!  The movie was over at 10 and some boys may have been caught up until midnight having long discussions....over what I couldn't tell you, but they finally fell asleep and all stayed asleep until 7.  I call 7 hours of sleep a success :).











See they all survived the morning after!

This weekend we also enjoyed probably one of our last snows for the season with a little walk at the dog park with Bella for her birthday and some sledding!

Crazy, happy dog...you can see how Bella was running circles around us...


Happy 2nd birthday Bella!



Some crazy sledding by the boys!
