Have been back home for the holidays --
in Pennsylvania, but will
drive back to Illinois tomorrow.
Have been having a great time
catching up with my family.
We play lots of games
and get really silly.
Is your family a game playing bunch?
We love to play "spoons"
and this year,
we also played two new store-bought games:
"What?" and "Logos."
Both were lots of fun!
My sister, Susan, bought us all
fake moustaches from the dollar store
which we all wore and laughed until
we cried with them.
Hilarious.
(Would have shared the photos
but there were many taken
and I would need to get permission
to publish some of nieces and nephews
images on the web so I better not!)
Wanted to wish you all
a healthy and prosperous
2012
and to remind you
one more time
about the
Favorites on the First
Linky Party!

Happy New Year to you as well Alison.
ReplyDeleteGood health and happiness.
Well I have only driven through, never really explored, would love to. We always play spoons, can get a little wild. My nieces and nephews love it. Looks like your family is a close knit group. That's great. I hope you have a safe trip home and the best New Years Eve ever. Happy 2012 from My blog to Yours. Richard and Sissy dog too!
ReplyDeleteA round barn...my cousin has one!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun with your family, we had those fake mustaches in pink!
Safe travels back to the Land of Lincoln!
Happy New Year: Alison: We are celebrating New years in Pennsylvania too! We are in Morgantown. Where are you?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your family and blessings for 2012. See you in Cicago.

Happy New Year, Alison! I love that you are having lots of fun with your family :) I love games. The kids and I play some while they were home. Scrabble and Apples to Apples. Check out my lastest post. Taylor and did the Chicago thing, like you and your daughter!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, friend...
Happy New Year Alison!
ReplyDeleteWe are total game players at our house. My sisters and I (sometimes we get the husbands and parents to play) and now my kids since they have gotten older, like to play Apples to Apples, Wise and Otherwise, and Imagine If. This year we added a new game ~ Say Anything. We have lots of fun and end up with inside jokes from those word games that last years!

Sounds like a great time Alison! I love Pennsylvania. Now what in the world is spoons? It sounds like fun. I know what you mean about the picture thing these days. I notice whenever I take pictures, my teenager feels the need to pose or fix her hair - all the time! Now I know why - they might end up on FB!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait t o join your new party.
Happy New Year!

I wish we were game players but now there is not much FAMILY left, sadly. Christmas is getting smaller and smaller. HAPPY NEW YEAR and safe travels home! XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteWe love to play games too. I forgot about Spoons--thats a good one! We just got Wits and Wagers..it's fun
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Hi Alison. Glad you had a wonderful family visit. Travel safely. I've got my post ready to link up. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! ~ Sarah
Do we play games, do ducks quack. It makes all the holidays so much more fun and spoons is a very popular one here.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year,
Lisa
Sending you the Happiest New Year Wishes Ever my friend. I look forward to many more wonderful visits with you in 2012 xo
ReplyDeleteAlways Wendy
What a fun group you are! I love the fake moustache idea ~ it gives me the giggles just thinking about it. Wishing you a happy and blessed new year.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley
Your blog is absolutely beautiful. I'm so excited to discover it. Happy New year
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE spoons! In fact, no one will play spoons with either me or my sister except family because we get a little brutal. :o) But it's all in fun!!! Glad you had a happy holiday!!!
