Slumber party firsts...

 On Monday, Ryder headed up to be with our best buddies the Cleary's for Caleb's birthday.  That gave Kit and I two whole days to be alone with Eden/. The last time this happened was winter camp a few years back.  We lived it up!  We went to a special spot for fried chicken which she requested:

We rented the Secret Garden:
And she slept on a blowup mattress in our room:
The next morning we got smoothies and got plants for a veggie/herb garden:
Then we GOT HER EARS PIERCED!
She's been waiting since her birthday last February and we finally made it happen:
She was nervous but even more excited, and she picked the sweetest little heart earrings...
I held her hand while Kit took photos and videos...
We headed home for naps, neighborhood walks, and take out tortilla soup from Avilas.
We absolutely missed Ryder, but these moments were so sweet and I know that we will remember them for a lifetime.
