Sleepover! :)

Well, we actually managed to pull off a sleepover for Anna's 13th Birthday. She's been planning this, I think, for about 2 years! ;-) With her gymnastics schedule, training on Friday nights and Saturday mornings, and with a Jan - April competition schedule, it's very hard to find a weekend to have a party! So, we finally found a good weekend to blow off the gymnastics schedule :) and amazingly enough, all of her group of best friends from school were free too! yay! So we rented a suite at the Embassy Suites in downtown Huntsville and had a really fun night.

Our first stop was at Bridge Street to have some ice cream at Maggie Moos - yum!

After a little shopping here and there, we took some fun pictures on our way out.

There's just something about the big horse at P.F. Changs that just begs for a photo-op! :)

I love this card - and Anna's face. She's definitely 'an original.' ;-)

After opening presents, it was off to the pool for a swim.

Of course, after a nice swim and a little time in the hot tub, it's time for a good workout! That way you can go back to the room and eat a lot of junk food! :)

And then there's the morning after. :) We got up late, had a fantastic breakfast in the hotel, and then it was time to go!

We had such a good time - and I'm so thankful for this group of friends that Anna has had since 1st grade! What a blessing. :) I can't believe they are ALL growing up so fast!
