Play date with Alice

Alice came over for a play date last weekend. Lots and lots of fun was had by all. We missed Alice's parents but we had fun hosting Alice, and it is really neat to see how the girls have developed a friendship and can play together.

First there was dancing - it was "a dance party"



After the dance party we made cookie pizzas - first we had to pat out the dough in to a pizza shape and then it was time decorate!


Alice really liked the decorating - she kept smelling the m-n-ms and marshmallows. Both of them loved to taste the toppings.

Of course Ally had to have sprinkles - and oops Becky and I were so busy taking pictures and trying to get the one above with that great Alice smile that we let Ally get a bit carried away with the pink sprinkles - can you tell she got a lot!

Lots of pink all around.

While the cookie pizzas were baking the girls decorated this box. I think it was for Ernie's birthday - but for a while they were packing to go on an airplane to visit Grandma Debbie in Philadelphia.

Soon they tired of the plane game and so Alice showed Ally how to climb in to the crib. Thankfully Ally knows this is not allowed at our house and has not repeated this trick.
Jumping in the crib together has long been a favorite activity for these 2 - and I never manage to get a good picture of it. This time I failed as well - but they were so goofy swinging their hair and hiding their faces from the camera.

They even played sleep and made us turn off the lights for a while.



When they "woke up" it was time to make the actual pizzas. They each had their own piece of dough to spread sauce and cheese on. Again, eating the topping was a lot of fun.

While the pizza baked the girls played doctor on Becky. She was not feeling very well and was a great patient.

Eating pizza and fruit for dinner. All thru dinner Alice said she wanted to have a pajama party with Ally. She told us she had pajamas in her bag so we said ok - and declared if they took a bath (together) they could get in pajamas and have a party. They were pretty excited about that. Then we went to look in Alice's bag and there were no pjs. Ally agreed to let Alice wear a pair of hers. Now she keeps asking where her pbj pjs are and says "I hope Alice won't throw them away" where she got that idea I have no clue. But we assure her that Alice will give back the pajamas.

After baths, pajamas and dried hair (no small feat - I think parents of twins are amazing). It was time to eat some of the cookie pizza. Then it was time for Alice to go home.
It was a fun time.
