and then there were 10

We started out as couples without kids...IBC "trailer trash," staying up way too late playing cards or random German Board games, camping in the wilds of Prince William County, etc. Then we each had one and we discovered that we could make our kids portable with the wonderful Pack-n-play. Our late night game playing became less frequent, but we still tried. Fast forward 4 years and now the kids outnumber the adults and we all live in Kansas! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!
The weekend after Halloween we drove just 2 1/2 hours south to see our dear friends the Winns. What a wonderful time seeing their home and watching our kids play oh so sweetly together. It was really a fun time. It did my heart good to see a familiar face. We ate way too much junk food, played board games, stayed up way too late (Thank goodness for the time change!!) and just caught up on life. We love you Winns! THANK YOU for hosting us! Looking forward to returning the favor!!

    So envious that you all got to have a fun sleep over and game time together... just like the old days! What evil dessert did Ms Rachel make? I'm betting there was chocolate involved ;)!
