Gorging and Games


What have I been doing with family for the last 4 days? It can pretty much be summed up in 2 words.

Gorging

At fancy shmancy restaurants to celebrate birthdays....


And at home to celebrate an early Thanksgiving....


You can never have enough pumpkin pie, right?


Gaming

You know how I've mentioned my competitiveness? It's actually in my DNA. My family has been big on board games since I was tiny and allbedamned if it's not a tradition I'm passing on to my kids. Whether it's MarioKart, Dutch Blitz, Monopoly or Sequence, at least two of those are mandatory whenever we get together!


Serious game faces right here.....


Hope you're enjoying your week so far!

    Dutch Blitz sounds like fun! Scott *just* suggested we look into a few new games to add to our collection.
    I'm not sure if you've ever heard of Farkle or Spinners, but both are always played when our families get together.
