Last week my dear friend, Kayla offered to keep Natalie so Brian and I could go on a date for my birthday. We gladly accepted her offer! But that wasn't the best part=) She called later to offer to keep her over night and during church so we could work our Adoption Luncheon and not have to worry about Natalie running around. I was a little hesitant because she has not ever slept away from us unless with family. Not that I didn't trust Kayla, but as a mommy it was hard. I knew she would have a blast with her 4 kiddos so we accepted that offer, too!
Here are a few fun photos from their slumber party.
The evening began at the church picnic so they got to be outside in the beautiful weather. Right up NJ's alley!
And dinner was pizza. Another hit with Nat!
How cute is this?!
They ended the evening back at the house playing kitchen. Again, one of Nat's favorite pasttimes.
And story time. Yep, she was just fine....
And now for the totally cute part! All of the kids had to sleep around her. Too sweet!
What sweet, sweet memories this girl will have to grow up so loved by more than just her family. We are so thankful to this family and many more for helping us all feel like family is here even when they are really miles and miles away. God is good.
Thanks to Kayla and fam and my husband's hard work we had dinner AND a movie (on his company might I add!). What a needed night out!
