New Year's Eve 2013 in the Mathews household was all about the board games. And cocktails. And games. And tears. And games. And ridiculous local television coverage that made me embarrassed for Chicago. And GAMES!
New Year's Eve begins
with a rousing game of Beat the Parents! Will they beat us?
Time will tell. And yes, those are Mommy and Daddy drinks in the picture. We
gotta level the playing field somehow, folks.
The kids win! BUT...the parents are into their third cocktail each, which means....THE PARENTS WIN TOO!!!!
Next board game...Labyrinth. Who will win, WHO WILL WIN?
And the victor is...Emma! Final verdict for Labyrinth: two thumbs up. In fact, we like it so much, we play it again.
Labyrinth Take 2: Sophie wins! Very proud smile with tears still drying on her face
because 30 seconds earlier, she was convinced she had lost and crumpled into a sobbing mass of despair. Ah...the
thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, the emotional roller coaster of
Olympians and six-year-olds everywhere.
Up next...Make 'N' Break.
Make 'N' Break: A Video Snippet.
We have a winner!!! Anyone notice I'm the only one that hasn't won a game yet? I blame the margaritas. Also...this is not normally how my husband looks. He doesn't usually come across this handsome. :)
All four of us made it til midnight, and all we got was this lousy awesome selfie. :)
Happy 2014 from the Mathews family! May your year be filled with wonder, laughter and love.
