Sleepover For The Girls!

Two Saturdays ago, Esther and I invited out 10 year old cousin Brianna over for the evening/sleepover. We went to pick her up at approx. 4:30 p.m. and then the fun began! While we were driving her to our house, we asked her which dessert she wanted to make together. She thought butterscotch chocolate chip sounded good, so that's just what we did! 

Oh, yes. The fun part of cookie baking. ;)

While we were waiting for the cookies to bake, we enjoyed a nice game of Skip-bo together at the kitchen table. :) 

The challenge was on! 

After the cookies finished, we had a delicious supper--shrimp gumbo! Oh, yeah! Shortly followed up by our freshly baked cookies. :)

Next, we all sat down to watch a movie together, popcorn included! 

For the next thing I had planned...which was much to Brianna's surprise when she heard it...in a good way. So much so, she had a hard time stopping her laughter. :P

I announced to her that the comical face hanging on the wall (drawn by Laurisa) was supposed to be Brianna's big brother... and that we were going to play "Pin the Clown Nose on Jeremiah." (Great idea, right? xD) Yeah, wasn't trying to be mean, just give her a fun time, haha.

We each had three colored "clown noses," and played my version of "Pin the Tail on the Donkey". 

Brianna won that game!

On a whim, I decided we could each take turns doodling on the picture for the next activity...

Behold! Our finished, autographed masterpiece! ;)

We played some hot "potato" with a small coca-cola polar bear, and then a bit of musical chairs..

Esther was quite entertaining us with her.."dancing." 

A bit later, we finished off the night playing bop-it after getting ready for bed. The next morning was church, so she went back with her family, but we had a very fun evening together. :)

Another post is on its way!
