cousin sleepover!

the girls were so excited for karina to stay the night with us earlier this week. they were all given matching pajamas at christmas, along with matching pjs for their dolls... and they've been talking about having a sleepover ever since then.

i piled the girls on the couch for a picture, and ethan got so excited. "oh! can i put on my star wars lego pajamas?!" the boy wasn't even phased by the fact that he was totally outnumbered. so he joined the pile on the couch, and they all just went straight to the silly pose...


caroline crawled in karina's sleeping bag to read a book together before bedtime... and i just couldn't resist snapping a picture of these two cousin-friends. the older they get, the more fun they have together.


and it seems like it was just yesterday that the girls were in their matching pjs for the first time. (christmas 2006: caroline- 1 mo. old, karina- 4 mos. old)


the big girls went right to sleep, which was a good thing, since amelia woke them up at 6:45 the next morning. (i was praying they'd sleep till 8!) there's always that one girl at sleepovers who wakes everybody up....

we loved having karina spend the night, and we look forward to many more cousin sleepovers in the future!
