First Overnighter . . .

The following poem is written by Campbell for her spend-the-night at her Nana and Pop's . . . her mommy and daddy went away to celebrate their 4 year anniversary . . .. (please note, this poem is an over-exaggeration and quite far from the truth . . . )

Twas the week before Christmas and my parents went out of town . . .
No car seat needed for this girl goin' all around.

Nana and I visited all the stores in Rock Hill
Looking for that before-Christmas-last-minute-deal

The nice thing about the parents being gone, this girl gave up on her diet.
For dinner last night, rice cereal was a riot.

Later that night, Nana and I cheered on the Panthers
As Pop laid asleep in his chair thinking about those Top Cat Dancers.

We wished and wished that the air would stand still
So Kasey could kick that ball so they would wrap up home field.

At noon on Monday, I sprang from my crib to see my parents return,

too soon though, as for more time with my Pop and Nana I yearn.

Then as daddy came in I heard him say,
"I came for my princess, I missed her all day."

I heard him exclaim, as he drove down the drive,
"Nana and Pop, thanks for Campbell's overnight invite,
Happy Christmas to you all, and to you all, a restful night!"
