I take this game seriously.




For some reason, Leon is not intimidated. He even stops to take a phone call from his mama.


It looks like Leon's intuition is correct. Nothing to fear here (Tawna's gun is jammed).






Looks like Tawna's gun is still jammed.


We meet back under the picnic shelter to regroup and reload.






Tawna's having really bad luck with her gun so she's going to take pictures instead.


We regroup into 2 teams with the dads as team captains.


Foxhole!




I get frozen, but never fear. Tawna is right there to make sure I don't cheat.


Tawna is cold. Imagine that.

New Year's Eve

Our friends, the Jacobs, came over to bring in the new year with us. We love their family and we are all alike in so many ways.

New Year's Eve:
The kids watched some movies.


The adults played Monopoly. It happens to be Leon's favorite game.


However, it is Jason's least favorite. He says, "Monopoly is the Devil."(bonus points if someone can name that movie)

But he'll humor the rest of us and play anyway.


I think Tawna is plottin' on us.


Sigh...Leon, Leon, Leon. I do know the rules.


We were so caught up in the game we almost missed the changeover.

Look's like the Jason wins the gold! Good sport that he is.
