My 24th Birthday

My birthday was this past Sunday the 17th =) I threw myself a “board game party”! My boyfriend and I blew up thirty black and purple balloons and tossed them around my apartment. We also made about a million cookies, cut up veggies and cheese. We played the Mad Magazine game and Disney Scene-it. Then my best friend in Fort Wayne showed up about an hour early. He brought me a birthday cake! The three of us played Sorry Sliders(my new favorite game) until others started to arrive.

In total there were six of us. It was a good number for playing games, not too many, not too few. We played Password which is apparently a bit like Charades but you can say words that are synonyms. Once the hat was empty we played Seven Deadly Sins. The goal of the game is to gather a chip for every sin by doing dares from the cards when you land on that sin. Always an entertaining game =)

I had a great birthday! Once my friends stopped saying how lame I was for wanting to play games I think they all had fun. They also enjoyed popping the balloons to make me scream :/

  1. Andrea,

    HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY! Sounds like you had too much for with your friends. I loooove birthdays. I am planning on heading south to TENNESSEE for mine in June!
    I enjoy Blooming Readers. I took two students this semester so I can get more out of it. I thought it was pointless to go for half an hour last semester so this is worth my time.

  2. That is a sweet idea for a party! My favorite board game would be candyland!!! I also like disney princess memory (but I don't know if you would really consider that a "board game".

    Ps. I cant make that meeting tonight at 4. I have soccer. :( learn all the things though so I can ask questions?!?
