Nutcrackers and Space Shuttles
As many of you likely figured out from my earlier post, we had a family game night last night. My brother had to travel home to Arizona today so we planned a low-key and fun evening all together before he left.
After getting in my Legs & Glutes workout, my mom, sister, and brother showed up for dinner. I had prepared my favorite White Chicken Chili for dinner and my mom brought some Mexican cornbread to go with it.
I need to get the recipe for that cornbread. It is so good!
Once our taste buds became adequately spiced from dinner and the kids were in bed, we started up a round of Cranium.
Like I mentioned before, my sister and I usually kill at this game. Did you see her go from guessing “Elton John” to “puppet show” in 2 seconds flat?
Due to our creepy knack for guessing each other’s clues, we went for a random division of teams by pulling numbers. Guess who ended up together??? You can tell Heather is looking at my camera (the fun one) and I’m looking at my mom’s (the JUST SMILE WILL YOU one).
That’s more like it. Goofy is way more fun.
On to the game! Things started off rougher than anticipated for the victory team. We actually trailed most of the game. Apparently, my mother’s phallic space shuttles made a connection with the guys?
Or me trying to act out “nutcracker” steered us off course?
No. It must have been Peter’s intensity that got them ahead at the start.
Let’s take a closer look shall we? I cannot for the life of me get over this face…
Don’t worry. I warned him I was posting that picture. Although, he may have thought I was kidding. Oh no, my dear man. Oh no.
Somehow, at the end, knowing that dogs sniff out truffles and a charading of “triathalon” brought us back. Then the epic “puppet show” won it all. The champions continue to reign!
My dear brother Tommy, you will be missed until we meet again. Then, we will yet again get another chance to defeat you. And of course have little M call you that nickname you so hate love. Tata for now Uncle Tookypucket.
Question of the Evening – Which would you rather do: Act, Draw, Hum, Answer Trivia, or Spell?
