Travis' New Ride

Go UVa

We left Northern Virginia early so Travis could attend the UVa vs. Virginia Tech game. He wanted to broadcast his allegiance all the way to Charlottesville and count how many others were doing so too. I think the official count was UVa 28, Tech 13. Unfortunately, the score of the game didn't end up with us on top, but Travis had fun nonetheless.

Merry Christmas-I mean Prize

Although these pictures look like it is Christmas, it's actually a game called Prize. Travis' family plays this game after the Thanksgiving feast every year. It's a pretty greedy game which we question why we play it every year. We continue to do so though because there's always good gifts! Travis' mom gets all the presents. There are 5 dice on which the letters of PRIZE are spelled out. On each dice there is a blank and if you roll and get any blanks you don't get to pick a present. There is stealing involved which makes for a pretty interesting game. There are tears every year usually shed by a younger family member not getting the gift they wanted.

This is our loot. We always come away with some good stuff. Others aren't as lucky.

This One is For You

Well, I'm finally updating our blog. Sorry that it's taken so long. I hope I haven't lost any fans. Here is what we've been up to since the last time I posted 3 months ago...
