Murray Christmas

Nothing says Christmastime like a Murray reunion! It was so fun to see all our friends (and my, there sure are getting to be a lot of babies aren't there?). These are all such great people. We always come home with stomach aches from laughing so hard when we hang out with them :)

Friends, Fun, Food

We made dinner tonight for my siblings Ryan and Kelly and we got so excited to use our nice dishes and actually put a table cloth out and all that. Adam and I love to cook and this is the first time we've had official guests over to our apartment for dinner.







Later after dinner we got calls from a few friends so we invited them over too (Leslie and Matt McNaughtan and Lauren Daw).






We played a really rousing game of "Loaded Questions" (I think this might possibly be our favorite board game of all time-- thanks Emily and B for introducing it to us!)

















The game was great and everyone was fun. We had hot chocolate and marshmallows and I was finishing the last sip out of my cup (so my head was tipped back and the whole cup was aimed down at my face-- so I could get that last marshmallow, you know how it goes). Someone was reading the answers from that round and one of them struck me as so funny so naturally I started laughing but I forgot about the hot chocolate in my mouth and the cup tipped on my face. Let's just say there was a little explosion as the chocolate came shooting out of my mouth, hit the cup, sprayed back in my face and I was choking on the laughter and marshmallows. If you look closely in the picture below you can see a little white thing sticking out of my eyelash on the left... the picture doesn't really do justice to the mess that was my face. It made for a funny end of the night (as long as I can make others laugh...)

Murray Party!!

We had a party yesterday with a lot of my best friends from high school and it was so great to see everyone! It felt like family... we really gotta get together more often. Especially now that so many of them have little babies! Crazy! I was so proud to introduce Adam to this group too and grateful that he's so good at fitting in. We played Loaded Questions (go figure) and I was impressed with how hilarious everyone was (not just the obvious suspects like B and Aaron) but really everyone had me rolling. My favorite was the question, "What would you do to make a fast million?" and Adam answered, "Sell Canada." Awesome idea, honey, we're gonna be so rich!

Can you tell who changed from this picture to the next one? (besides David Lanz)
