Laughter

The saying "Laughter is the best medicine" certainly has it's place in life. There is something so therapeutic about a deep belly laugh. Laughing until you cry and then laughing a little more. Especially with those you love and cherish. And when the laughs and joy bring you a deeper appreciation for those around you. 

Lisa invited all of us over for dinner, games and desert on Saturday. Lisa is trying new biggest loser dishes and this chicken, broccoli, fruit salad and funeral potatoes was delicious. We all stuffed ourselves. Even Hayden absolutely loved it and asked for the recipe. 

We then played Loaded Questions. I'm not sure who is funnier to play with... Hayden or Josh or Chad or Katie. Lisa is pretty transparent. I can always tell Lisa's answers although I was probably the next most transparent. Lisa's involved Dunkin Donuts for Heaven and reading the biggest loser for latest books. Katie's best was saying she wish she could be Nephi's wife. Josh and Katie said that a reason for not going on a date...diarrhea and pooping. Yep. Chad could peg me every time and Hayden actually threw us off. He is growing up and stayed right with us. We all shed tears of laughing so hard on multiple occasions. Especially Lisa trying to figure out what Katie, Josh, Chad and Hayden's answers meant. Hilarious. 

Ice cream brownie sundaes provided more laughter and joking around. 

It was pretty much a perfect night. We love the Etherington's living just a few doors down from us. They are always up for laughs and fun, games and treats, laughing and pranks. And when Chad and Josh are Hayden's true life heroes and idols. They are so good to him and I am so grateful.
