This evening we braved the blistery weather and gathered along Main Street for a Christmas parade!
We went with our long time friends, the La Motte family.
After the parade we headed to their house to have some snacks and play games, specifically “Mayberry-opoly!”
We had a great game with an immense amount of wheelin’ and dealin’ and negotiatin’. (For the Monopoly gurus: Benjamin was able to get the Park Place and Boardwalk equivalent properties and built hotels on each. I think they were landed on more than a dozen times and it made all 5 opponents either go bankrupt or withdraw. )
We also played the game that taught us all we know about Spanish, “Uno!”
We had a great time, but the evening soon turned into early morning and it was time to go home!
We tried playing Axis and Allies for the first time as a family tonight. It took some time to explain how the game operated and what the rules were, but we started having some fun coordinating strategies. This’ll definitely be this year’s New' Year’s Eve game!
