Remember that time I won at hearts?
My brother and I drove back to North Battleford on Friday evening. We got a chance to play our yearly Kaiser game against my parents. Sadly this year we lost 2 games out of 3. Saturday Renny and I had an attempt at some last minute xmas shopping but failed as we couldn’t find what we were looking for (pot of gold cherry chocolates). In the evening our entire family (minus Rachel) headed over to Sean and Dustin’s parents place for some awesome prime rib. After supper Sean and I snuck downstairs to avoid dishes and battle out in some Wii games (wii sports, monkey ball). I told him after we played that all the games that I won were good games and the ones that I lost in were the stupid ones. I felt it was accurate.
Eventually our parents came downstairs and we took this opportunity to have them battle it out in Wii Sports. They did 2 on 2 tennis, boxing and a round of bowling. Some of the pictures were just priceless.
Sunday Rachel arrived in the afternoon before we stuffed our faces full of shrimp scampi and sweet and sour meatballs (weird combination I know) and then played a whole bunch of old board games we played when we were kids (Mille Bornes, Tile Rummy, Uno, Hearts, etc). I won at hearts and Rachel figured I would brag about it for a few days. She was right. I was awesome.
Today is the big day where I once again tried to sleep in but ended upstairs by 9:30. We are having over a total of 12 people so now everyone is cleaning up and preparing food. I snuck downstairs to write this important blog post. Tomorrow Rach and I head back to Saskatoon and have our Christmas with her parents. What’s the plural of Christmas? Christmases?
