Christmas Festivities

So I was a bit confused about how the "Surprise" Date Night was going to work. When your husband says you're going out on a date, I mean, you just assume it's going to be just the two of you. Right? So when Matt said, "You know it won't be just the two of us on this date..." I was a bit confused. No, how would I know that? Several of his guy friends pooled together to do dinner on the plaza with their wives/significant others followed by a limo ride to look at lights. It was a fun surprise despite the rain!

The gang. These guys pulled off a great evening...and even had some sparkling grape juice for me to drink!


In other Christmas festivities, we hosted our church small group Christmas party at our house with Chinese food and some games.

Matt and I had to duel each other in the game...and of course...I wore my Christmas jumper for this event.

It's hard to tell what's going on here...


We finished off the evening with a few rounds of the Newly Wed Game. Matt and I are always terrible at the Newly Wed game.

We have a wonderful group of friends from church and I'm so glad we have this group to share life (and Christmas festivities) with!
