Delicious Towels and Slow Pillars // Game Night

Daniel, our current judge, got tired of waiting for everyone (there were 17 of us playing) to turn in their cards, so he took a nap. *grin*

What?  A card that makes sense? We can't have that.

Convenient card storage.

Decisions, decisions...

Why do cards like "beards" and "beans" win so often in Apple to Apples?  Why are they so funny?

Besides Apples to Apples, we also played Pictionary and Mafia.   Seems like we play the same games every time, but I guess they are our favorites.

Someday, I'm going to take our Bible version of Apples to Apples and combine it with the original version. It will be the most epic version ever!!  I'll let you know how that goes. *smile*

Do you ever have game nights with your friends or family?
What are some of your favorite group games to play?
I want to know!

p.s.
We all missed you and your coconut popcorn so much, Laura!

Scrabble

Just a quiet, snowy afternoon playing Scrabble with my mom and Glenda.  I usually hate this game, probably because they won't me use my own made-up words.  "Penkle" is totally a word!  It's that prickling feeling you get when you know they're not going to let you use it as a word.  But I enjoyed it this time.  I actually won!  Which was weird.  Glenda's dog, Greta, absolutely adores my mom!  It's so cute, watching her.  I love quiet, snowy afternoons spent with excellent company.  *smile*

What's one game that you absolutely hate playing?
How do you spend a quiet afternoon at home?
I want to know!

Bowling, anyone?

Christopher, Alex, and I spontaneously decided to go bowling last Saturday.  I think the last time I was bowling was about ten years ago...wow.  Now I feel old.  What is it about rolling a large, heavy, round object and trying to knock things down that is so much fun?!  Hopefully, we can get some of our other friends to go with us next time.  Our little group was great, but the more the merrier, I say!

Oh, and I got one strike!  I was happy. *smile*

How about you?  Have you ever been bowling?  Do you enjoy it?  I want to know!

I did not realize how small my feet were compared to the guy's until I say this picture...
It's almost creepy.
*grin*

Winter Once Again

Sometimes, I get tired of the snow because the only time I'm out in it is when I'm doing chores.  The snow does make those about twice as difficult to accomplish, and I forget how beautiful the snow is.  That's when I grab Jack and the Bonnie dog and go for a walk.  With a fresh blanket of snow covering everything, it's a magical new world out there.  Want to come with me?

Did you enjoy our walk?  I did. *smile*

Photo a Day // January // Week Four

{One} The Bonnie dog with her new over-sized tennis ball.  I haven't given her a new toy in a long time, and she was so excited! :)

{Two} Fawn went to her new home at my friend Sarah's alpaca ranch this Monday.  She's now doing guard duty over a herd of alpacas!  And Sarah gets major points for driving the truck and trailer on our icy driveway!

{Three} We put the winter tires on the Suburban this week.  I now know how to change a car tire!  Hooray for me!! Check that off the list! :D

{Four} Car window reflection.  Love reflection pictures.

{Five} Personalized mugs for my friend's birthday.  They're twins. :)

{Six} Friday night, we feasted on Jelly Beans while watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  I can't recommend that film because of some objectionable content, but we sure had a good time! *grin*

{Seven} This afternoon, Amanda threw a surprise party for her twin, Abigail.  We had way to much fun signing the cake...we don't know a Tedd (two d's??), but signed his name anyway. *smile*  And yes, that is a camouflage cake with a (small) deer antler on it.  Amanda is awesome. :)

: :

My goodness, this week was busy!  Especially today.  I went to Abigail's surprise party, and then went to pick up my bro from the wedding he was helping to film.  Guys and gals, I have officially crashed a wedding/party.  Woot!!  Checking that off my 101 Things list...  And there was dancing!  My bro and I were awesome...just sayin'. *grin*

How about you all?  What have you been doing these days?  I want to know!
