This weekend we went to visit our friends Mike & Jill, and their girls Heidi (5) and Maya (3.5). They only live 2 hours away so it's the perfect distance for a little road trip and sleepover. We had a great time re-connecting with them -- it's been a long time since we've had the chance to sit around and have wine & cheese, or coffee & eggs, with good friends while the kids are happy. The little ones really looked up to the big ones and loved playing with their toys. We even tried to brainwash them a little bit into giving up their bottles for good by saying things like "see how the big kids are drinking out of their cups?". Even though the girls skipped nap on Saturday they rallied until bedtime with very little whining, and Abby and Lucas slept a solid 13 hours (Zoey joined us in bed around 2am).
Peace and quiet for the grown ups while the kids are occupied.
5 year old Heidi did a great job of reading to the little ones

There was some fun Sunday morning coloring.
The two families together!
And for comparison, here the pic from our visit last year on
New Year's Day.
Overall, it was a great break from the routine and we hope to see them again soon!
