childhood friends reunite

Growing up in Washington a sweet girl named Stacie lived across the street from me. She was two years younger than me but since we both had brothers (who were friends) we became quick friends. Now Stacie lives in Colorado with her husband and 4 kids. She was in town last week to visit the Grandparents and I invited her over. Our kids got along splendidly and it was fun talking about old times and getting updates on each others' families. I made chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese for lunch which is always a kid favorite. We had to pull up all 8 chairs plus the high chair to have room for all the kids to eat.

Stacie has 3 daughters and 1 son. It is interesting how both Stacie and I had so many daughters after being surrounded by only brothers growing up. Emily enjoyed playing game after game with him.
She has 5 year old twins that Megan and Melissa loved playing with.
Here are the younger kids on the swingset. There is still room for one more!

Finally a photo of Stacie and I. Thanks for stopping by with your kids!
Today I am thankful that:
*my Beehive lesson at church on the cultural arts went well
*Megan and I are celebrating our birthdays this week

It's fun to catch up with friends from the past. Did it seem like your were able to chat as though almost no time had passed? It always amazes me!

Happy Birthday this week!!! Any big plans for Friday?
