Weekend festivies!

Oops, I lied! I did have some noteworthy events over the past week. Must be that memory-loss thing that they say comes with having a baby!

Anyway, on Saturday, I was able to host an afternoon tea for three elementary school girls and two other friends. Two of the girls we know from the Lighthouse and they were invited to each bring a friend along. Kelley (of spelunking and strawberry picking fame) was my co-host, so together we got all the snacks and goodies and frilly things ready for the party. I also managed to get some tea party tips from my 11 year old sister (via phone), which helped tremendously.

The six of us enjoyed a lovely time with craft projects, games, and lots of yummy treats...tea sandwiches, fizzy lemonade, scones and whipped cream, chocolate covered strawberries, etc... The girls also got dressed up and their mom and a friend helped to do their hair and makeup, so it was quite a fun and fancy day for all of us!

Later that evening, I headed out to a girl's game night with some friends that we've made here. (I think we all either work at the hospital or our husbands do.) They usually meet once a month for dinner and games. This time we enjoyed a Mexican themed dinner, followed by a lively game of taboo. I guess we usually end up doing more socializing than game playing, but it's a fun way to enjoy a night out together. Eventually the guys will probably get their acts together and have a dueling Poker night, while we're off for the evening! Josh will have to brush up on his skills!
