The Big Sleepover

The Big Sleepover

Ethan and Freya had their first ever sleepover at our house on Friday night, we didn’t have any expectations as neither of them had ever had a friend over for the night before and Freya had never slept anywhere other than her own bed.  But they were such good kids.  They dragged out bedtime a little, but we expected that.  There were no midnight wake-ups or homesickness, they were, however, up at 6am!!!! and on the trampoline by 6.30 – our poor neighbours!

Freya is such a rad kid we love having her over!
