games

The grand plan for the last week or so was that after Will got done with work on Christmas we would go with my mom and Brandon to Laughlin.  We were going to have a nice dinner and then go see a movie.  Kind of like what me, my mom. and brother did last Christmas.  However, we discovered at the last minute that Will would be on call all weekend.  Rather than risk being paged a million times and having to split up we opted to stay home and have a game night.  Good thing because he did end up having to go into work. 

My mom baked the best cookies ever.

We ate lots of cookies and other junk like doughnuts

The excessive sugar made us all a little loopy, especially Brandon.

He kept us laughing all night with his dancing and skipping and cranium sculptures.

When we got the game all set up we realized the clay that comes with it was all dried out.  There wasn't any other substance in the house we could make do with so Brandon set out to fix the dried up purple blob.  He added water to it.  He put it in the microwave.  He added lotion to it.  We laughed while watching all of his attempts to fix it and talked about how much Lisa would be laughing if she were witnessing the nonsense.  After all that we were able to use it but it wasn't working quite right so all of the evenings sculptures were ridiculous.

We also played Rummikub.  One of my favorite games [because i'm pretty good at it]

The grandmother came by for a visit.

It was such a fun night.  I'm glad we didn't end up going to dinner and a movie because I bet it wouldn't have ever been as much fun.

I love my crazy family and I love that the newest member fits in perfectly!

How about a repeat next weekend?
