Mackenzi went to her first sleepover this past weekend. She was so excited! We agreed to let her go last week at her soccer practice. She was asked by Chasey, her soccer coach's step-daughter. We agreed. . .and then of course we nearly backed out! A sleepover! 
Kenzi has been asking for many months about having sleepovers - having kids come over and going over to other kids' houses. . .but, we hadn't really agreed for that to happen until this past week. She has spent the night at my sister's house, and at Nana and Memaw's house without us for up to a week at a time, but this was different. This was someone else's house that wasn't related to us. Chasey is a sweet little girl, and we've spent quite a bit of time on the soccer field with her parents as well as her step-mom and I emailing back and forth throughout the season. . .so, we felt plenty comfortable with her being there. . .just weren't sure if we felt comfortable with her not being here with us! Friday evening wasn't such a big deal, we took her over to their house, and stayed about an hour just visiting. When we got home, it would have been time for her to go to bed, so it wasn't too unusual yet. . .but then Saturday morning when we woke up - it was definitely different without her little smile in the morning. But, as you are probably well aware, we survived! I even had brunch plans with my DBU friends, and so I was out of the house early for that - and then we met at the soccer fields for her game at noon. Which, by the way, was an awesome game! Angela took pictures, and so when she sends them, I'll post a couple of them. Mackenzi, Chasey and Emalee played a wonderful game! They won by like 9 to 2! Mackenzi scored about half of the goals and Chasey scored the other half. When I was little, we weren't aloud to spend the night at friends' houses the night before soccer games. . .but, we may have to enforce that rule later on - like when she's trying to stay up half the night! But, for now, it was fun - she had a great time! Here are the girls playing the Wii. . .
