Emily's First Sleep-Over!

That's right! Nelson surprised me with a night away over the weekend (we went to a super-nice hotel for an early 5 Yr Anniversary Celebration) and arranged for Emily to stay with our friends, Brandon and Heather. They have twin girls a little older than Emily and the three of them always have a great time together -- as you can see! Leaving Emily for a night was harder than I had anticipated it would be, but I knew she was in very capable hands and would have a blast! Anyway, we had a great time getting away and we even got to enjoy a leisurely breakfast the next morning -- it was wonderful! But it was even better to go pick up our little girl and get home. We were only gone for about 15 hours but we sure missed her! :)
