Getting to Know You!

The Browns hosted an amazing friends night tonight. Sheena made yummy Cafe Rio pork salad better than Cafe Rio. We then played some fun games. We played a "getting to know you" game (read below), and we quickly found we didn't know a lot about each other. There were a lot of surprises - like Colby wrestling in high school? Or Emily playing the piano? Or Beej actually being nice to his friends? **j/k** Who knew?

We then had to blindfold ourselves and feel the mens' legs and figure out which man was our's. I was pretty nervous. Just what if I didn't pick Greg? How embarrassing would that have been? I lucked out though and chose my man.

Sheena made amazing individual cookies (in trays) for each of us, and we made our own sundaes. They were incredible! So good!

We finished up the night by peer-pressuring Doug into performing his Polish Magic Show and then dancing for all of us. What a treat. He has some amazing talents that man. You just never know what you are going to get with Doug!
