Sleep Over

We got a chance to see what it would be like to have twice as many kids. The kids have been begging to have a sleep over for months now and we were presented with the perfect opportunity. It was our friends' (Jalyssa & Erik Christensen) 9th anniversary and he was deploying after the first of the year. They wanted to do an over nighter before he deployed, but don't have any family that lives close by. We were honored that they would trust us with their children for the night and asked us to help them out. To tell the truth, I think Dan and I might have even been a little more excited about the whole thing than the kids were.

So, we had 2 sets of twins: Noah & Erik (5 years old), Zoe & Kysha (3years old). An 18 month old (Kambrie) and a 3 month old (Jack). Everyone survived and we all had a good time. We ate pizza for dinner. Watched the Muppet's Christmas Carol while eating Peanut Butter Popcorn. Noah & Erik slept on an air mattress in the living room by the Christmas Tree. Zoe and Kysha slept in the big bed in Zoe's room. Kambrie slept in the boys room. We had Banana Foster Pancakes for breakfast. The big kids went to Lowe's with Dan to finish building their Holiday Train. We had hot dogs and Slurpees from 7-eleven for lunch. We made cookies, Erik and Jalyssa got home just in time to sample them hot from the oven.

Watching the movie and being goofy... (Kysha, Zoe, Erik, & Noah)It was such a success and so much fun, we can't wait to do it again when he returns in April.
