An evening for the grown-ups

My boys were itching to have a sleep-over at Grandmama’s house and so we made it happen over Christmas Break.

Kevin and I took that opportunity to host a party.  I made some very dear friends when I was in junior high (or earlier) and while we’ve spent years apart, we still feel very close.  All 5 of us live in Utah again and so I invited them and their husbands over.

A picture recreation was high on my list of must do’s for the evening.  We were so cool once…

I know the evening was a success … because Kevin cried with laughter!

We did another of our drawing games and this one was caused some tears!  It began with “Kevin was Eddie Murphy’s stunt double in Shrek” and ended with “Kevin, the Greek God, kills ducks with his trident!”  Seriously!  This game kills me!!

These are some good people and I’m so glad we were able to reconnect!  It had been more than 10 years since we were all together…

It felt like a lot less time than that!

A couple of the couples needed to head home earlier than the other two.  I didn’t think the night could get any more funny, but, I was so wrong!  We karaoke’d!!  Even KEVIN!

Oh, the tears.  The many, many tears of joy!

It was a good night!
