Lots of Fun at the Love Fiesta

Tonight we headed over to the Gossetts' house for a Love Fiesta party with the Reeders and Bishops. It was originally scheduled for Valentine's Day but with several folks sick, we rescheduled for this weekend.

The night started out with a delicious dinner. During dinner, we each had a special fortune cookie that had a question in it that tied to the theme (i.e. love, romance, kiss, etc) and everyone took turns sharing their answer to each question. We all learned a lot about each other and the other couples.

After dinner, it was time for the gift exchange - we each had to bring something we loved that cost $10 or less. I brought Cupcake Royale's super yummy salted caramel cupcakes-of-the-month and Corey brought some good hot fudge chocolate sauce from Williams Sonoma. Corey came home with a Chipotle gift card (from Natalie) and I came home with a jumbo pack of Reeses peanut butter cup eggs and 3 (losing) scratch tickets (from Jason).

After the gifts, we had a delicious dessert, followed by a rousing round of the Newlywed Game. We had a blast and continued to learn a lot about each other as everyone threw out answers to questions like 'If your house was on fire, what one thing would your wife grab on her way out?' to 'What one word would you use to describe your first kiss' and so on.

We had a fabulous time and look forward to next year's bash. Thanks for having us, Natalie and Chris, and thanks for the doggie toy. Roxy LOVES it. She's been in her bed quietly playing with it since we got home and we are loving that that.

Here are some pics from the night.

Final scores. Obviously Corey and I need to step it up a bit.


Bonus Round: draw your significant other. My drawing of Corey looks just like him, don't you think?
