After our voyage to the movies, we went home and played the Grab Game. We used to do this on Christmas Eve. My family can get a little...spirited at this game. So much so, that we've moved it to its own separate night, and now we take turns and after three steals, the item is locked and no one else can have it. We also don't steal from the kids, as a general rule of thumb. Tonight, though, we brought it back. Back to the old ways of frantic dice rolling, pointing, shouting, exclaimations of joy and despair, (and fiendish glee), and the frantic moment of indecision where you can't remember who has the Star Wars cups (Dad's side of the family is the more nerdy side. We have a lot of fun..). The nice part is though, once the final item has been stolen and the lightning round is over, we end up trading a lot of the goods around.
My main item of the night that nobody stole from me?
Aww, yeah. Who's got a Nerf gun? I do. Who's playing HvZ next semester? I am.
Also, I'm wearing my "tunic" ^_^
It goes without saying that I'm seriously happy with my haul. I feel like a sniper. Or maybe more Riza Hawkeye from FMA. (Fullmetal Alchemist, for those of you not up on your abreviations)
I'm grateful to be in a family that loves to laugh. That makes me laugh. Where our sense of humor just line up beautifully, and we can start lapsing into character voices and start making up stuff. Where we play video games with each other and not leave the room in a hissy fit.
And I'm thankful that I'm not standing in a line that's wrapping around Target behind some smoker dude. Black Friday Shopping is ridiculous. And yet I've put it on my bucket list...
