Last night was the 8th annual Friendsgiving dinner hosted by the Wilsons. There was tasty Mexican food and photo-booth fun and CatchPhrase games and a crowd of almost 30 people!! It was fun times hanging out with old friends and meeting new friends... with You've Got Mail playing in the background, as is tradition! =)
Here are several pictures, beginning with a camera-ready Tate and a distracted baby Ellie...
...who wanted a closer look at this gigantic bag of chips! lol
A great pic of the Moss fam!
Aunt Lindsey and Tater-tot selfie!
Chet got 40 candles to light up the birthday cake, which turned out pretty great after a slightly ridiculous baking process. lol (I wiped off the icing from the strawberries I had removed and then I froze them because I read that they won't juice so much if you do that, which was true! So there's a happy tip for anyone trying to make a cake like this in future.) Anyway, here's a pic right before we sang Happy Birthday...
Laura blowing out all the candles... she almost got them all at once!
Laura and I with the cake! =) We had about 7 other dessert options, so we'd have been okay even if it didn't turn out well. lol
Uncle JEM and Aunt Kelly with Tate
I was pretty happy about the photo booth! =)
The Myers and Tate, who was wearing Karli's Uggs! lol
At some point, an acapella version of Mariah's "Oh, What a Wonderful Child!" broke out! lol

Happy friend trio pic!
CatchPhrase fun... we played 3 rounds of that, then went around sharing what we were thankful for... or as Sarah sarcastically put it, "We're stopping the game so we can all talk about our feelings!" lol
This = Chet paying Laura for cat sitting while they were in Florida... I had to snap a picture when he came in with this change jar! lol
(I also made Oreo balls for this event, and they seemed to be a hit! Cody hadn't had them before, and when he heard that I made them, he gave me a thumbs up and said, "Jesus would approve!!" Lolol)
Happy Thanksgiving week, friends! Today I feel thankful for God's grace, for decade-long solid friendships, awesome food, fun conversations, pictures that make me smile, birthday celebrations, and new possibilities! That's all I've got for now. Back to my grueling workday of playing on Facebook and addressing my Christmas cards! ;-)
