Jill's Birthday Fun

Our friend Jill turned 40 today!! {April 2nd}

We got our usual group together for a delicious meal and some game playing on Friday night and, as always, we had a blast.

The birthday girl... who doesn't look a day over 29. :)
We played a fun game called Dice-capades (sp?) after the kids went to bed.

In this game, depending on where your game piece is located, you might have to sketch a picture for the other players to guess...

...potentially with your eyes closed.

You might be challenged to do random assignments with random styles of dice.

Here, I'd stacked a tower of five dice faster than my opponents before the clock ran out.

And Steve is struggling to make a tower using 10 of those itty bitty dice in less than 30 seconds. Not easy!

Jill, however, was able to successfully stack five dice in her palm while standing on one foot... in less than 30 seconds. ;)

With the physical challenge cards, you might have to do push-ups...

...or arm wrestle the opponent on your right. ;-)

Mike politely told me I was "pretty strong", while letting me struggle and get no where until I finally gave up. I was laughing too hard to be any good at this 'cause I can usually hold my own against another girl. Just sayin'... Mike is the owner of Will's karate school and has multiple degrees of black belts in multiple martial arts. Awesome luck for me then, huh?



There was also random trivia, acting, and charades involved. A good time was had by all. :)







After polishing off the strawberries that we were all dipping in the chocolate fudge sauce, someone requested graham crackers and then we finished off the sauce with those. Yum.

Love our friends.

Happy Birthday, Jill!!!
