And if You Threw a Party...

Today we had a Golden Girls "Marathon" (A whopping 8 episodes) with a few friends. A little get together to honor the late great Bea Arthur! Sammi made a delicious cheesecake (a golden girl favorite) to enjoy and Emily brought over a variety of yummy baked goods.

With my cute new plates from IKEA :D

After some time watching golden girls, we moved on to pizza and a game. Tonight we decided to play In a Pickle. The game involves what can fit into what. Each person either has to place a card down that is smaller than or bigger than the cards on the table. For instance: There was a bone IN the test tube, and the test tube was IN the school. and so on. When any row has four cards, the person to place the fourth has started a "pickle" round. Each player then gets one more chance to put down something that the biggest card can fit into. Whoever places the biggest card wins the stack. Whoever reaches a certain amount of stacks first, wins the game. It's fun when hearing people try to explain how they think France can fit in a castle (it can if it's a map of France!). Here are a few of our combinations (hint: the card at the top of the stack is supposed to fit in the next card and so on.)

We had quite a bit of fun making up the stories!
