While the Parents are Away...


Last night Andy and I hosted a singles party at our house. My parents and Alayna were away for the weekend in Washington DC on a school civics trip, so the house was ours to do with as we pleased...hehehe. :-)

It had been awhile since the singles from church had gotten together, so we thought it was the perfect opportunity to have a group over. We couldn't of asked for a better night! The chill of autumn was in the air, but it felt refreshing as the house got quite stuffy with 24 people crowded about!

A mixture of aromas filled our house throughout the evening ~ a sugar cookie candle burning, Italian sausage simmering, pizza pockets baking, apple cider bubbling, coffee percolating.

Sounds of laughter were heard all around from the competitive ping-pong games on the back porch, the crazy nonsense words of Bible Mad Gab, the debating creativity of the game "In a Pickle", the shouts of "Blitz!!" during the fast-paced games of Dutch Blitz, and the quick grabbing of spoons during a new variation of the game "Pit".

My camera was in Washington DC this weekend, so I wasn't able to take any pictures of the evening, but Andy got a few during one of the many rounds of Pit & Dutch Blitz. It definitely was a fun night with our friends!
