Back when Lance and I lived in Utah and we could all be together for Christmas more often, we had a family tradition of playing Trivial Pursuit for one evening. We'd play in teams, and Lance and I were notorious for talking each other out of the right answers. I'm pretty sure my mom and dad won more often than not, mainly for my dad's sports knowledge. And then there was the year of the "Christmas Miracle", where my two brothers came back from behind to beat us all. What a shameful, shameful year.
Kevin gave us the latest version of Trivial Pursuit for Christmas, so of course we had to put it to good use.
Lance and I won!!! Bragging rights for a year!!! I can't remember what our winning question was, but I do know I answered one about Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, a book that I have never read. Booyaa!
I don't know what's up with my bangs in this shot, but who cares? We won!
My house apparently made Kevin really sleepy, because he slept. A lot. Maybe he's like Tess and needs 16 hours of sleep a day?
Grandma Susie was always more than willing to hold Miss Tess, which Tess loved. Not that she expressed this. Tess decided to not smile for anyone the entire holiday, pesky baby. That's why we call her Tess "Stoneface" Madsen.
She's forgiven, though, because she's so stinkin' cute.
And chubby. If Tess's fat rolls are any indication, we are in for a LONG, COLD winter.
On their last night here my dad treated us all to a Chinese/Italian dinner: Papa Murphy's pizza and Chinese take-out. Why the combo? Some people in our family won't eat Chinese. Plus, my dad wanted both.
It was delicious!
