Lies, Twists and Murder!

It sounds so serious, but really it was a very fun night! After our ward's progressive dinner we had Creed and Emily, Mark and Teresa and Eric and Nickie over to play games. I had been dying to play Balderdash--it is one of my all time favs. If you haven't played, it is a game where you make up definitions for real words and see if anyone believes that your definition is the real one. Can I just say that Emily's definitions were not G-rated? And that there was a reoccuring Oriental theme? (Because Mark made his views of Oriental food well known throughout the progressive dinner). After I kicked butt in Balderdash--maybe that is why I love it--we played Twister. About that, have you watched 7 thirty-something-year-old adults (and Nickie who is hanging on to 29 by a thread) play Twister? It is pretty hillarious! Needless to say, my winning streak ended quickly. In fact who did win? After we were limbered up, it was time for Murder. Which is a family favorite. And the good news is there was only one injury, Teresa's bloodied lip. Not bad when you consider that everyone was walking around in the dark and one person was trying to kill all of you. It sounds a bit demented, but it really is fun.

Most of all, it was great to spend time with our friends who are our family and our neighbors! And check out their butts--who wouldn't want to be Creed and Emily's friends?
