It was just a fun night!
And I think this is going to be a new tradition!
Todd & I invited my team over for a cookout/potluck with their spouses.
You know how awesome Todd's Apple Betty at Hostess Appreciation is???
Well his burgers are just as fabulous!!
AND I made bacon jam for them.
Mmmmmmmmmm!!!
Well, none of my team with spouses came!
But Todd didn't mind and hung with just us girls anyway.
I'm happy I remembered to take SOME pics.
But I forgot to do it when Todd was involved.
(We've been having to go help his dad 3 times a day for the past couple weeks, so he left for a bit.)
Of course all the food with delicious!
(But I didn't think of taking those pics.)
But the most fun of the night was we actually played Cornhole!
None of us are very athletically inclined, but everyone did great!!
And EVERYONE got "ringers."
Todd started out on a team and played a round before he left; he played LEFT-handed to make it fair. 😉
Todd/Diane vs Nadine/Arlene
The next team was up to play the winner with a sub.
Nadine/Marilyn vs Linda/Steph
THEN the winners played the winners.
Linda/Steph vs Nadine/Arlene
Linda and I won, but Nadine gets an honorable mention…playing in every game. 🙂
We decided we needed a winning treat.
Linda posed for me. 😉
(Girls, if you can believe it, this pic is one of them with the flash. The one at the beginning is not. Go figure!)
We chatted about family and stamping and the new Holiday Catalog, of course, AND ONSTAGE IN LANSING IN NOVEMBER!!!
But I have to tell you my favorite moment of the night….
One of the girls playing the first game (that I didn't get pics of) mentioned, "I'm gonna throw my back out!"
So I started worrying about a couple of them that the game wasn't a good idea on my part.
Then Diane threw a "ringer" (went in the hole for 3 points, rather than just on the board for 1.)
And she literally did a quick little celebration jump!!
It was too cute!!
