FUN WITH JOHN & YVONNE

John & Yvonne came over for dinner last night and, as expected, we had a great time with them. The kids had been counting down the days til their visit for ... well, almost long enough to drive me batty asking about it.

Yvonne gave me a beautiful bouquet, then we all scarfed some Chicken Waikiki, peas & corn, Leslie's salad, and rice. Dinner included multiple jokes from the boys and Naomi sitting as close as humanly possible to John, then the kids recruited some gaming partners while Tim and I cleaned up. Next up were two rounds of Catch Phrase, with the boys taking turns teaming up with each couple and Naomi floating around on various laps. Each couple's team won once and the common denominator in each winning team was Devon. We'll have to auction him off for team placement next time! We took a quick break for apple brownies, which is basically apple cake, and some ice cream, then the kiddos hit the sack and the adults chatted for another hour or so while watching the tail end of the Beavers game. We tend to be Duck fans, but are gracious hosts who let their guests find out how their team is playing. Nice of us, huh?

It was perfect evening!

Naomi busted out her newly purchased (with birthday money) tic tac toe board and played with Yvonne.




The boys got John to play Uno with them.




Naomi stole Yvonne's glasses.




My pretty flowers.

Looks like a fun evening. How nice that she brought you flowers.

And now I must see what apple brownies are!

So, the trend is the stealing of the glasses? Well, I guess that's good news if she ever needs them! At least you know she's not opposed to the idea!
