'We're having the Peterson's over '

A week ago tonight Mike, Lily and I, as a family, went over to Kristin and Ryan Reese's for dinner. College friends of both of ours, the four of us are the only ones to be married amongst Mike's group of friends from college. Kristin and Ryan married right after we graduated and then Mike and I two years later. We decided to be the guinea pig parents, but Kristin and Ryan are expecting a surprise baby mid October. Turns out we are at the point in our life when referring to each other we use our last names...what I mean is, when asked what Ryan was doing on Friday night by another friend he very casually said "Oh, we're having the Peterson's over for dinner..." Immediately he knew this particular single guy friend would have an easy shot back at him, making fun of his 'grown up' ways. "we're having the peterson's over???" I mean really, that is totally something my parents would say about their friends. Ryan thought..since when do we refer to each other by the last names? Why didn't he just say, "oh, Mike and Lauren are coming over for dinner?" I guess it's our mature side shining through, and guess what, we are now parents...weird. Ryan told us this story as we sat around the table reflecting on our current lifestyle, which we are all very content with...Dinner on a Friday night accompanied by a couple 'beverages', maybe some tv, then bed :)

The best part about it, the next day I was talking with my Mom and asked what her and Dad were doing later, she said... "We're having the Pott's over!" Dah, Dah, Dahhhhh That's all she wrote folks.
