We don't socialize much, never really have. We are just people who prefer to be at home, alone. All of us. Well, less Amy than the rest of us. The unfortunate side effect is that our kids don't have a lot of experience socializing with non-family members. It's a small regret that I have.
So our friends the Davises invited us over for a family game night, and we were a little bit excited and probably nervous a tiny bit too. Their oldest son Nico (oh he's' Nicholas now, I forgot) was in Reed's Cub Scout troop, and they still hang out sometimes at lunch and get along pretty well. Their younger son Kendall is in Amy's grade, and was in her fifth grade last year, and one of her classes this year. They get along pretty well. And Amanda and Kyle are super-nice.
Anyway we went, and we all had a great time...all 8 of us, I think. We played Telestrations (the Davises' first time playing it) and some other game, then Reed and Nicholas disappeared to play video games while Amy played Trivial Pursuit Family Edition with the grown-ups.
I think we were there for about 4 hours. It was a rousing success. So we CAN be social after all! We're hoping to host the Davises at our house for games sometime soon.
