Midnight Party

Yes, we actually took Ana to the midnight release of Harry Potter! My friend sells books, and she had a little party at her home that started about 10:30 p.m. Daryl surprised us by arriving home early from a business trip to Vegas--about 15 minutes after I told Ana she was going to a party with candy and snacks. When I tried to get her excited about staying home with Daryl and hearing bedtime stories instead of going out, she began to bawl her eyes out. So, she got to participate in a worldwide event at the tender age of 3. Below is a picture of her at about 11:50 p.m. At this point she had eaten popcorn, Skittles, and cookies and was just starting to feel tired. But when the boxes and books appeared, she got back into the party spirit enough to make it to her bed relatively happy by about 12:20 a.m.
