the mini slumber party

Here we are!  Not the best photo of us, but there were way too many cameras flashing when we made our arrival onto the red carpet.  Mike's office held their Holiday Party last night at a hotel in Beverly Hills.  It was a night to remember, for sure.  While we were out having a great time, the kids were having a "mini slumber party" at a friend's house nearby.  Our kids and our friend's two kids were all so excited during the days leading up to the slumber party.  She had taken her boys to a late afternoon birthday party and when they heard Thomas and Meredith were at their house, they couldn't leave the party fast enough.  Forget the birthday cake!  It was all very sweet and we're incredibly thankful she was able to take the kids.  We picked them up sometime after midnight and three of the four kids were soundly sleeping on an air mattress together in the living room.  I know they would have loved to stay and wake up with Kai and Xander, but we got a hotel room nearby and then returned the next afternoon to see them again.  I love how easy our kids are, whether it's staying with someone they don't see often or a last minute change in plans.  They're flexible and adaptable which makes being their parents so very easy.
