We also attempted to beat my cousin Zion at the game of Construction Memory. He's only 5 1/2, but he beat both Dave and me! (For example, when I played him, I had only 6 sets, and he had 30 matches!) At one point when he was playing me, he said (with a straight face), "I don't know why I'm so talented!" Ha!!
Zion had a new Nerf archery set that was a big hit with all the boys (big and little) in the house. They took turn shooting the yellow balls at various targets (including people, of course).
(There's Dad in the background talking to Em on the phone; we missed her a lot this Thanksgiving!) Mom, Kathy, Dave, & I also played a game of Scrabble, which Dave won decisively. His top scoring word was "quiz" which was on a triple word score and earned him 63 points! He really needs to practice his Scrabble strategies, because Grandma Sorbel is coming for Christmas, and she might be his toughest competitor yet!
And what would a holiday at the Bergstrom's be without an intense game of Settler's of Catan? Nate, Mom, Dad, Dave, and I struggled through a 2 hour game to see who would be the next king of Catan....and this time, Nate was the winner! However, Mom did her best job yet in a game of Settler's, ending with 8 points and a 2nd place finish. (This is why she is holding up 8 fingers in the picture.)
We truly do have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, and great times with family are definitely at the top of the list!
Zion and I are blessed to be included in your blog. Though apparently I am completely absent from the Thanksgiving time - mostly spent in bed, but I was still very thankful!!
ReplyDeleteHope to have many more wonderful times in Texas in the years ahead....
love from your cousin Christy and her son Zion
