Dinner with the Ostranders

On Friday the 20th, we went over to my good friend Elesha's house to play during the day and have dinner with her and her family. Elesha and I met through Stroller Strides and she has a son, Jack, who is three months younger than Payton's. Elesha and I were also pregnant at the same time with our second babies. Her son Crew is two 1/2 months younger than Gracie. We have become close friends, and so have our kids, and I feel so lucky to have her in my life. Since her and I and our kids have so much fun hanging out, we thought, why not have our husbands meet too! So, we set them up on a "blind date", but with all of us there, and we spent that Friday evening together. We had so much fun and bedtime, at their house, worked out better than we had hoped!

After dinner Jack and Payton got ready for bed, Gracie went to sleep in Crew's room and Crew went to sleep in Craig and Elesha's room. We set Jack and Payton up downstairs to watch a movie while us adults chatted.

At bedtime, we put Jack and Payton to bed in Jack's room. They were both so excited to be able to go to sleep with someone else. We were all kind of worried how it would work out, if sleeping would really take place, or if they would get up and play, but thankfully, they went to sleep!

The little monkeys, sound to sleep.. together. We didn't think they would actually go to sleep, but they did after about 10 minutes of chatting.

We had so much fun with Craig, Elesha, Jack and Crew. Thank you Ostranders for having us over and for a yummy dinner and wonderful conversation! Ryan, the girls and I are looking forward to our "second date". :)
