Jack Has a Sleepover

    Jack is a young blonde hair, blue-eyed boy.   He is the pride and joy of 

his nanny and papa’s heart. Jack had a very special girl in his life that made 

him smile and laugh all the time. Her name was Lillianne. Jack called her 

Lily most of the time. It was easy to spell when he would print her name on 

valentine cards, birthday cards and the secret little letters they shared as 

best friends.

      Lillianne did not mind being called Lily. It made her feel so special.   Lily 

was Jack’s best friend who lived next door. Jack had lots of friends who 

lived on his street. The name of his friends was Peyton, James and 

Grayson. If Lily was not home Jack would walk to Peyton’s house and ask 

for him to come outside and play. Some days Jack would pedal his bike to 

James’s house and spend all afternoon popping wheelies and all sorts of 

bike tricks.   

      Grayson was always playing with all the other children on his street.  

      Brooklynn and Whitney were very important people in Jack’s life. There 

was no one as fun and exciting as Jack’s awesome cousins.   Brooklynn and 

Whitney were twin sisters and they did everything together.

     A special day was approaching for Jack. He wanted all his favorite 

people to share a birthday celebration. Jack was going to be six years old.  

     ‘How do you want to celebrate your birthday this year Jack? It is a very 

special day for you’ nanna and papa asked secretively.

    ‘’I would like to have a fun sleepover’ Jack replied as he jumped for joy 

calling out his wish.

     ‘I think papa and I can give you the present of a fun sleepover. We will 

do our very best to make it special’ nana answered with a big smile.

     Jack’s heart was beating with joy. He had always wanted a sleepover 

but mommy and daddy felt that he was not old enough to have his friends 

over night. Now that Jack is turning six years old mommy and daddy were 

now fine with his first sleepover.

     The special day was only two weeks away. There was so much to do 

and so many activities to plan. Jack could barely sleep at night. All he 

could do was daydream of the fun he was going to have.

     Oh how the days passed bye. Before Jack knew it, Saturday, August 

10, his birthday had arrived.   Nana and papa kept very quiet about the 

surprise sleepover for Jack.   Mommy and daddy prepared his overnight 

bag. Mommy hugged him close and kissed him with all the special love 

she had since the day he was born.

     ‘Happy Birthday my handsome little boy. Have a great time and take lots 

of pictures. I will see you on Sunday Jack’ mommy replied as she helped 

Jack get buckled into his seat.

    ‘Bye mommy!   Let’s go Daddy. Nana and papa are waiting for me. I am 

so excited. Yahoo!’ Jack replied with a big happy smile on his face.

      Daddy watched the excitement on Jack’s face through the rear view 

mirror.   He could remember how exciting it felt when he had his first 

sleepover when he was young like Jack.

     Nana’s house was on the other side of the city. As daddy approached 

their house Jack had spotted papa standing on the front porch. He was 

waving his hand excitedly.

      ‘Yes! Yes!’ Jack called out loud.

      Once the car had stopped in the driveway and the engine was turned 

off Jack quickly unbuckled himself. Jack opened the car door and rushed 

up to papa and gave him a huge hug. He almost forgot to get his overnight 

bag and say good bye to daddy.

     ‘Bye daddy. See you tomorrow. Love you!’ Jack spoke with excitement 

in his voice.

     Nana had the porch decorated with birthday balloons. There was a big 

sign hanging over the front door that spelled:

      ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK’

      Jack’s eyes were big like saucers.

     ‘Nana is waiting inside with your first surprise Jack.   Go on in’ papa 

insisted.

     ‘SURPRISE!’ shouted the familiar voices.

     There in front of Jack stood Lillianne, Peyton, James, Brooklynn, 

Grayson, and Whitney. They were all dressed in such nice party clothes 

especially for his sleepover. Jack grinned from ear to ear. He had no idea 

nanny and papa invited all of his best friends to have fun at his party.

     Jack joined his friends in the living-room. They giggled and laughed so 

much and shared ideas of what nana and papa had planned for the 

evening.   Papa went outside to cook hotdogs on the barbeque. Nana 

prepared pink lemonade.That was Jack’s favorite drink on very special 

occasions. The children sat around the kitchen table eating, laughing and 

have such a really fun time.  

     There was silence for a moment and all of a sudden nana entered the 

kitchen with an ice-cream cake. It was decorated with six flickering 

candles.The children and papa all joined in and sang the ‘Happy Birthday’ 

song.

     ‘Blow out your candles Jack’ the children shouted.   ‘Make a wish first’ 

they continued to call out.

     Jack blew out all the candles in one breath. He smiled and felt that his 

wish would come true.

     ‘What’s next?’ Jack asked as he stuffed the cake into his mouth.

     ‘Well if you all get cleaned up and put on your pajamas I have a very 

special surprise for you’ nana replied.
