Grandma's Sleepover...

Friday & Saturday both Tiffany & I headed down to Cardston to have a "Grandma's" sleepover with all the grand kids. We had talked about doing something like this for awhile now, and with both of our husbands out of town we thought this would be a great time to go.

I was able to find 4 pairs of matching pj's for the kids. They looked SO cute & they were so cuddly. Next year hopefully we can find some for ALL the kids.

Here are all the kids listening to Grandma explain the "rules."

1. No jumping on the furniture. ( She just got new leather furniture...it is SO nice! So you can see the need for this rule.

2. No yelling

3. No fighting

4. Have FUN!

Once the rules were established the party could begin! First on the list of things to do was to roast hot dogs with Papa in the fireplace. The kids LOVED doing this!

Tyson's turn

Carson's turn to roast his hot dog.

Next it was time for some games. We played a Christmas version of "Don't eat Pete." The kids were more interested in eating the candy we used for the game, so we didn't play this for too long, but they had fun anyway. Then we played "Christmas Bingo." Tyson & Jayda loved this game. I think as the younger kids get older they will like it too. When the kids got a BINGO they got a Kinder Surprise. They loved that!

My 3 kiddos! Man is it EVER hard to get a decent picture of the 3 of them!

After the games and supper we put on "The Grinch," and then it was time for bed. The kids were quite excited about camping out on Grandma's living room floor and it took them quite awhile before they finally fell asleep...we even had the threaten to call Santa. LOL! But eventually it was quite and everyone was in dream land. Tiffany, Kimberley & I played cards and just had fun catching up on things. It was so nice to be together and enjoy each others company.

The next day brought even more FUN! The kids had fun using their blow up beds as sleds to go down the stairs. They called it their water slide.

After they were tired of doing that we bundled up the kids and they headed outside for some fun in the snow despite the FREEZING weather! Grandpa hooked up a sled to the back of the quad and pulled the kids around. They kids had a BLAST and managed to stay out there for quite sometime.

Here is Tyson snowboarding behind the quad. He was actually quite good. He had SO much fun doing this. It was fun to watch him.

So despite the cold & the lack of sleep during the night we all managed to have a GREAT time at Grandma Jensen's house! We are planning on making this a yearly tradition. Nothing is better than being with family and creating memories that will last a lifetime!
