Game Night

Saturday we invited the Devlin's and Hoffenberg's over for dinner and games. Pip was VERY excited to see these friends again and to have a sleepover! He loves sleepovers! Especially when they involve Liam, Jack, and Ella. We were also very happy to have Alex and Chase Hoffenberg (3 month old twins!) sharing the evening with us, but I can't say Pip or Viv gave them too much attention.

There was lots of running and playing, but after dinner they sat still for a spell to watch Snow White.




Later it was bedtime and Vivie, having her room to herself, conked out immediately. Pip convinced Liam and Ella to bunk with him and they needed only one gruff threat from Joe to settle down and sleep. Very successful!


Plus the adults managed to stay up past 12, which beats even my New Year's time, playing fun games. The only sad moment came at 6:22 am the following morning when Pip woke to find Liam and Ella had disappeared. The travesty! He cried and cried, inconsolable, for a long time. Why did his friends leave him?? Poor Pip! Next time perhaps it will be a real sleepover!
