The one where we have our first game night....

As a new year resolution, I decided to demand family togetherness on Friday night (or Saturday) and what better way to do that than game night? Cooper received a ton of new games for Christmas so we tried it out last night. Miss Addison will have to wait a while before she can participate, she was already in bed when we started.


We started with hungry hungry hippos, which can only be played when Addison is NOT around. She puts everything in her mouth and we can't Chance a marble getting loose. Cooper picked the blue hippo. He literally won all the games we played. He's good. I think the recklessness of a toddler is beneficial in Hungry Hungry Hippos, where I am over there trying to be careful and strategic and I lost every game. There is a reason the age is like 5-10 years! And then there was Guess Who? This one was much easier than the traditional Guess Who with the old men you had to guess. These were food, transportation and sea animals, perfect for kids (or adults!) It took Josh and I a while to figure out how to play, I know it says for 6 year olds, but adults have to interpret the 3 step directions- which I am certain they left a few directions out. Anyway, after all that Cooper was on Daddy's team, by choice of course and we played several games. Although it was a little over Coopers head, he had a fun time listening to us and picking the square for each of us to guess. He will get the hang of it soon!

So our first Friday night game night was a success, although it was missing a nice large cheesy pizza. Damn diet!


Coopers FAVORITE game!
