January: Kala invited the Hobbs family. They came over for potato soup & rolls, and Gina brought brownies. Josh and I played the game "Portrayal" with David, Gina, and Kendra as the boys did their own thing.
February: Josh invited the Linger family for dinner. We ate taco soup, and Hailey brought brownies with ice cream. We played SkipBo, and sat around talking for a while.
March: Ammon invited the Jackson's. They came over for lasagna dinner. They brought Settlers of Catan with them, and us 4 adults played until finally Darcy won (for the first time!), then the kids joined us in playing card Golf.
April: Jonah invited the Petroni family for hamburgers. It had rained earlier in the day, so we ate inside, but the weather improved, so the boys played outside for several hours afterward.
May: Micah invited the Roseburough family. We had pork chops, baked potatoes, rolls, and cantaloupe. It was nice weather, so the kids played outside before we all played the card game "Scum" together.
June: Kanyon invited the Roylance's for dinner. We ate baked barbecue chicken, and they brought root beer floats. The kids played outside for a while afterwards, as the adults sat on the deck. Ammon and Travis both ran into hammocks and clotheslined themselves as they were playing tag--which was both startling and hilarious!
July: The Simmons family came for dinner. They brought their 3 youngest children (including Ammon's girlfriend Hannah) and 4 of their grandchildren. We had hamburgers (and veggie burgers for Jim who is vegan), raspberry salad, veggie salad, corn on the cob, and watermelon. They brought brownies to share. The kids played in the ditch for hours and hours and had a great time.
August: The Deschaine family (Jonah's choice) joined us for dinner on a Sunday night. We ate chicken enchiladas, fruit, and homemade salsa, and Leslie brought chocolate cake. The boys played in the backyard, riding motorcycles, and swinging over the ditch, as the adults (and Ammon & Kanyon) played card games on the deck's table outside. The Judy family joined us for cards and dessert, too. It was a purely enjoyable evening!
September: The Pace family came for dinner; we ate chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, and corn on the cob (Micah's birthday dinner choice). The kids played outside for a while, then we ate an apple crisp that Amber brought and played the Game of Things.
October: Kanyon invited Ava and her mom Phoebe for dinner. We ate lasagna, garlic bread, vegetable salad, orange/coconut salad, and had ice cream for dessert. We had a nice visit with Phoebe as Kanyon and Ava played together.
