Some of the most memorable sleepovers that I had were at my close family friend Pat's house. She didn't have children, so she "adopted" me and Erica. Several times, she allowed me to have all of my friends over for a sleepover, and she always provided a stash of fancy gowns and dresses she had worn at company events, as well as plenty of dark lipstick. We would play dress up all night long, each person trying on each different dress. (As a matter of fact, the first time I ever successfully stayed up ALL night -- a huge milestone in my life at the time was at one such sleepover!) The last time we had a dress up party was for my 15th birthday. I guess for a little while after that, we decided we were too old for such activity.
However, in recent years, I've decided you're never too old to play dress up! So last week when my friend Lindsay invited me to a night of play- pretend, I was ecstatic! I thought about it every day until the event and I obsessed over the perfect costume. It was like the anticipation of Christmas. The anticipation is almost as much fun as the actual event!
The party was a 1920s murder- mystery... And I was the murderer! :)
We had so much fun!
Now I'm glad I insisted on keeping all of my old bridesmaid dresses when Van tried to get me to throw them away. I plan on letting Annabelle make good use of them. Cause all little girls and even big girls love to play dress up! :)
