The Games People Play…

Grumpy and I had some firsts on New Year's Eve this year. We did not toast each other with egg nog for the first time in many years. We even forgot our sparkling grape juice because we went to Rock and Bowl for the first time ever. Taya and Tawna decided to book a couple of alleys for their families to bowl the New Year in, so we went and had fun with them. I think everyone had a really great time. A few of the kids were bowling with the gutter bumpers up. I think I like that. It was fun to watch the ball bank off the bumpers and actually hit the pins. Many more smiles that way! We got three games done on each lane, so we did good. The reservation was from 10:00pm to 1:00am. The bowling alley staff handed out hats and headbands, whistles and blowers so we all had something to make noise with. I wish I had gotten better pics of everyone. I think Taya got some good ones, so I may steal some of hers when she posts about this on her blog.







Summer and Jamie had family visiting over the new year's holiday. Some of their family members were marching in the Fiesta Bowl Parade. They stayed over the weekend and I came in one evening to find them all playing Headbanz. It was so fun to see them all with pictures on their heads. THey were having fun guessing what they were on the pictures.

I'm not much of a game player myself, but I thinks it's a great thing to do as a family. My family didn't play games much as we grew up, and I'm really glad my kids have all learned to have fun playing games in their families.



Fun times.
