On Thanksgiving Eve, we hosted our 3rd Annual Daddy Friends from High School (and their families) party. It started in 2012 at the Erickson's (parents) house, but we moved it to our house in 2013. These 7 guys were inseparable in High School, and it's neat that they still want to get together each year to catch up. Pizza from the neighborhood Carmine's, a few appetizers, and salad makes everyone happy. As the kids get older, we definitely have to increase our pizza order!! So 7 Dads, 5 Wives (two were not able to make it this year), and 13 kids had a blast at the party. We always have a craft, and in past years it has involved feathers and hot glue or just a load of cut up paper strips to glue to a headband. This year's craft was mostly coloring the feathers on top of these super stylish sunglasses!
The craft was a hit, but there isn't a lot of photographic evidence. It was almost forgotten until Clare (the oldest of the group) quietly pondered if Mrs. Monica had a craft this year . . . so glad she gave the reminder!!!
It was a fun and rowdy group, and these guys loved spending the evening together. Funny how we never take a picture of the Moms!!! Maybe next year! It's lucky that we all actually like each other!
The best picture ever each year is Dads with kids . . .who could have imagined this High School group with kids back then! They have all turned out to be amazing husbands, providers, supporters, and dads, in each of our different situations.
We love this tradition, and we hope it remains important throughout the years. These guys can make fun of each other about stuff that happened 20 years ago, and it's too funny! Wait . . . that makes us sound old.
