Family Game Night

Avery loves to play games so we designated Fridays as family game night. Avery looks forward to it every week and it has really helped her to understand that you loose some and you win some, but the most important thing is that you have fun. One evening Gran, Papa, Aunt Kat, Uncle Goose and Theresa (Gran and Papa's foreign exchange student) came over and we decided to play a game of Taboo. Avery really wanted to play too, and with a little help from Aunt Kat on the words she couldn't read, she did an awesome job! Avery decided that we should play boys against girls and although we gave them a good run the boys ended up winning! We all had a blast...even Oakley who still has very little patience when it comes to playing games! (He usually only makes it about 5 minutes into family game night before he calls it quits!)

Lakelyn even enjoyed game night while sitting in Gran's lap!

Like I said before...Oaks gets a little board after awhile, especially when we are not playing a kid game! This is a time out to beat up on Daddy for a few minutes! :)

Avery getting a little help from Aunt Kat and Oaks using the buzzer!

The final score.

I want to come over for game night. We try to play games at home but it's impossible with Chaz around. He just grabs a gamepiece and runs. So Timmy or I have to take Chaz in another room to play while everyone else plays the game. I'm sure it won't be long though until Chaz will be interested in playing. Right???

It is so good to see pics of the entire family around the table playing games. It reminds me of mom and dads house. I love seeing pics of your family. I have been wanting to come over so bad..kids sick. Oh, Lakelyn looks just like Oaks! I can't get over how much she favors him. Lanee and I have started playing Candy Land..we have so much fun togehter.
