sLeEpOvEr


Friday night the kids were invited to sleep-over at Grandma & Grandpa Abbott's house (this was Brynlei's 1st time:)).  They LOVE to sleep-over and always have lots of fun... This time was no different.  They ate, played, and watched a movie (Harry & the Hendersons). Then, as always, on Saturday morning they ate pancakes.  They love this because Grandpa will make it into different shapes for them to eat.  Next.........
they played,  they love riding the new airplane at Grandma & Grandpa's house.  Then Grandma & Grandpa had something special planned.........
The kids got to make, paint, and decorate wooden boats in Grandpa's new workshop, or as the kids call it "Grandpa's Toy Shop!"  They had so much fun.....
I am so thankful that my children have such awesome grandparents.  I know that it isn't an easy task to take all 5 kids overnight,  and to make it so much fun for them.  My kids absolutely love this tradition of sleeping over at Grandma and Grandpa's house, and talk about it for days after.  They are always asking when they get to do it again.... My children cherish the time that they get to spend with their grandparents, they look up to them and love them so much.  I am lucky that they are a part of our children's lives, and that they take the time to make special memories for them to remember.   
Thank you so much for making such a fun night for the kids to always remember!!
