Jenna and Lauryn are both blessed with great friends!
This year for Christmas Jenna decided to have "girl time" at Starbucks with her friends. We put together gift bags for each of the girls. Each gift bag had a packet of rules for some good old fashioned card games (Crazy Eights, Speed, War, Slap Jack, etc.), a deck of playing cards, a notebook for keeping score, and a Starbucks card.
The girls met at Starbucks on Monday afternoon. I ordered them all their favorite drinks and then it was time for the games to begin!
I took out several decks of cards, Sorry, Blokus, and Bananagrams. It was absolutely a wonderful afternoon! They had a blast playing games, talking, laughing, and simply enjoying the company of good friends.
Here are the bags of fun!
Lauryn brought her friend Brandi so she had someone to play and visit with. I joined them in the game playing. I really planned on taking pictures of all the girls but...I was distracted by trying to win at least one game against the third graders. I was unsuccessful in my quest for success. It's slightly embarrassing but it was sooo much fun!
As the front of the game packet says:
"If you had fun playing the game,
you're a winner even if you lose."
Thank you Jenna, Lauryn, Ellie, Zoe, Haley, Ashley, and Brandi for a super fun afternoon!
