This weekend, Franny had her first ever sleep-over at her friend Megan's house.  It could not have gone any easier--the two went to bed, read their Justice and American Girl catalogs, and then fell asleep with their American Girls.  The next morning, they woke up happy and played well into the afternoon. She had the best time!  She was sad to leave, and am certain she would have been perfectly happy to stay another night!  These two have been friends their entire lives, but it is just recently that they have become BFFs (best friends forever).  The joy that I see Franny have with this friendship is very sweet; she loves her siblings but there is something very special about a friend at this age that she can have fun with and that likes the same things she does.  This was a big deal for Franny, and I am so happy that it could not have gone any better.  It was perfect!
