Shelby’s First Sleepover

Shelby had her very first sleepover with a friend the week before Christmas. 

Natalia is one of her besties since they were cute little 2 year olds in the HoneyBees class together at school.  

2007,  Cute and tiny!!  (I never realized- they’re kind of making the same face here.)

  

2008:

2009: I guess we all had the same witch idea, even the mommies!

I know I have more pictures of them, but Halloween is a time I know I can always find some on my disk!

Shelby and Natalia go to different schools now, but we get together often, especially now since they play on the Lions soccer team together!

Natalia’s mommy is a great friend to me, and she just seemed to know how busy I’d been on my “break” with 2 kids, trying to get ready for Christmas, and having many random home improvement guys in and out of the house all week working on our bathroom. (which is another story- and no it’s not done yet, but soon!)  Natalia is an only child, and has two teeny tiny little dogs, so we all know Miss Shelby was in heaven over there! 

They did art, played on the computer, had dinner, and I think Shelby even faked a tummy ache after dinner so she could have some private down time with a puppy and a tv. 

Ana knew it was her first sleepover so she made sure to send me pictures along the way.

Bedtime!

The next morning, they went to see a movie and to lunch before we picked Shelby up.

Shelby didn’t want to leave.  She was hiding when I got there and in fact, I had to get stern with her in order to get her to show her face and come with me!  Silly/frustrating girl!  She made sure I met, pet, and held both doggies before we left.  I have never met another person with a more one-track mind for animals/DOGS than this child.

Shelby came home trying to talk in Spanish.  Several times in the next day she said a jibberish phrase to me out of the blue and had me laughing.  Ana is a Spanish immersion teacher, and has only spoken to Natalia in Spanish since she was born, so I guess Shelby was giving it a try after being at their house for a while!

What a fun night she had!  I can’t wait until Natalia can come stay with us!
