I can't believe we've had this Ping Pong Balls of Fury Party for seven years now. Not a year goes by where we don't think about all of our lovely friends from back home that have to come and made the first years so fun! It's become our grand event to plan and prepare for every year and we really enjoy doing it. Every year we hope to tweak something to make it a little better.
Since we had it in November and it was cold, we rented a huge tent with lights, heat, and standing tables. What?!
This was the first year that the kids stayed at a friends house with a sitter so we could focus on our friends and enjoy the night to the fullest. The kids got to have their own party with pizza and games so it was perfect for them.
Richie pulled a couch from the basement and it was a great setting for the party. Our friend Dave hooked up some music and a microphone and even played some guitar for us toward the end of the night! Thank you!!!
Thank you to everyone that came out and brought yummy food to share and be willing to hang out with us crazy people.
