White Trash Bash

David's birthday continued on Saturday when we hosted a White Trash Bash for his 29th birthday. We invited a bunch of friends and got to enjoy the night dressed up as White Trash. It was hilarious to see how everyone brought the theme to life through their costumes and with a ton of delicious food and drinks, we enjoyed the evening with our core group of friends (well, those that could come). 

It's really, really fun actually. David introduced me to his friends and we've all gotten quite close. Plus, we're all married so it makes it fun for couple things too! Are ready for this?

• David met Andrew at school who's brothers are Dan and Kevin.
• David met Tori and Danielle through school (or church maybe?) and then introduced them to Andrew, Dan and Kevin.
• Andrew and Tori got married
• David met Max through school who married his high school sweetheart Megan. 
• David met Jake and Ben through school. Ben married Stephanie, while Jake married Megan's best friend Shelly (are you still with me?)

The list goes on and on but those are the funny interwoven connections. We have a group of about 16 close friends that make for fun birthday parties, BBQs and get togethers. We are blessed by that, especially since we're all Christian, all around the same age, and all get along really well. Love it!

Anyway, the core group came over to our house on Saturday to celebrate David's birthday, along with Kat and Alex and my parents. We had so much fun hanging out, playing Catch Phrase (the girls dominated) and Cards Against Humanity. The evening ended around 1 am and we spent Sunday cleaning and watching football. David said it was his best birthday ever and the most fun birthday party he's ever had. Nailed it! :)

Our temporary tattoo station and S'more stuff. We didn't end up making S'mores though, so now we have a lot of supplies leftover.
