Grandkid Game night round two

First Grandkid game night of the new year. It’s been awesome to have all the cousins together without their parents.  They love seeing each other and have a great time, even with the wide range of ages.  We love it when Andrew and Sophia come…Sophia is like the pied piper and the kids ( including Andrew) do everything she says.  She taught them all some band/theatre games… "Bunny Bunny" and "Ninja" and they also played, "Down by the Banks."  

It was loud and crazy and they laughed a ton, and loved it.  

We served our usual, nuggets and fries…along with a fire pit for smores..and outside games…red light, green light and Mother May I… (with Sophia-it’s a hoot)  At the end of the night it had been so noisy— George screams when he gets riled up— that we instituted a whisper zone and only spoke like that for about 45 minutes.  

As I was enjoying the chaos of the night… Andrew and Sophia playing at the piano, Alfie learning a magic trick, Elsie and Tayla coloring at the table, George running around and Poppy and Lady playing Barbies… I was washed with such a feeling of gratitude that I get to be a part of these beautiful children’s lives.  It was really sweet and for one brief second I glimpsed heaven.  We will do it again in February.

All of the girls hod to borrow a coat from me so we played, who looks the most like Meema
