About a month before my birthday Nathan asked whether I'd like a party this year. After some consideration, I figured "Why not?" He told me if I took care of the invitations, he's take care of everything else--and he did! He even got me cheesecake instead of cake, knowing I don't care much for cake.
We had a few friends over for games and dessert. We had such a good time, lots of laughter with this bunch!
Just as Nate was coming in the room with birthday candles lit, my friend, Stephanie, excitedly took the moment to prove Nate wrong on a few facts about Malcom X, which had been the topic of discussion earlier. It was funny timing. We all got a good laugh.
Thank goodness Nathan only put 8 candles on the cake!
Friends Andrew and Natalie Gleaves, and John and Allison Lucas. John's shirt is covered in clothespins for one of our games.
From the time guest arrived, they were given 3 clothespins each. For the entire evening, the taboo words were "Chrystal," "birthday," and "church." Anytime someone said one of those words, or any portion thereof, except during the birthday song, they lost a clothespin to whoever caught them. The point was to win as many clothespins as possible before night's end. It was pretty funny. Since we all know each other from church, that ended up being the most spoken word. That and "day." Natalie was the first runner up. John took most of them, and won an elf karaoke / sing-along microphone.

It was a really fun way to celebrate my birthday with a few of our closest friends. Kudos to my awesome husband for throwing me a party!
The other game we played is a board game called "The 5 Second Rule." It was fun, and one we'll definitely have to ise again.
Nate, Sephanie and Andrew
