ben and i hosted a 'pirate murder mystery' dinner on saturday night. it was SO MUCH FUN!! for those of you who haven't ever played a murder mystery game, they're a riot! we all had a blast. before the 'night of the event' each guest receives an invitation with a character assignment (whom they come to the party dressed as). of course, i had to deck out our house in pirate decor as well. you know me, i love a good party :). there's a ton of pics...sorry...but hey, like i've said before..this blog is for me to record our life's happenings, so i couldn't leave anything out :)...

each of us had a booklet with our character description and plot etc for the game which we followed...
the game took place over a 3 course meal...
