Even if you didn't go into the house you can still be charged. At the very least you are an accessory. Making restituion is a good start but it doesn't mean that you will walk away from this.
Things that can be weighed in your favor might be that this is a first offense, you are a juvenile, or this was a non-violent crime. However you didn't give more facts so I don't know if any of this applies to your situation. Of course you could try and have the charges dropped by the homeowner since you helped get the stolen items returned. You could also try and get the prosecutor to lessen the charge. Again it all depends on the specific circumstances of your case.
What you need to do now is to talk to a criminal attorney in your area.
