This weekend was a big first: Bereket's first sleepover at a friend's house. She got to experience it with her very first friend, Kokeb.
Kokeb's mom, Jill, mentioned during a water park weekend last winter that they would like Bereket to come stay overnight sometime. Jason's class reunion in La Crosse this weekend turned out to be the perfect opportunity for the girls to have their special night.
Bereket had a lot of questions about spending the night at their new house. She was curious about what they would eat and if someone would snuggle her at night. But when Jason and I dropped her off on Saturday, there were no tears! Just excitement.
Jason and I smiled at all the pictures Jill texted us of the fun things the girls were doing. First up: apple picking at a local orchard. I love this photo!
Other adventures included hair braiding (Jill is so talented!) and a movie.
And I am guessing these two had a lot to talk about even after the lights went out!
We met the Andersons at their church Sunday morning. Bereket was all dressed up in one of Kokeb's fancy dresses. After Bereket changed back into her own clothes, we all hugged goodbye.
We'd only made it a block out of the church parking lot before Bereket was fast asleep. I imagine she was dreaming about the next time the girls will be able to get together and do it all over again.
