non-electronic family fun

Jenga

while living in Holland, our family really got into playing games together in the evening. i think it's a nice way to spend time together and all 4 of our kids really look forward to playing the games together as a family. i am amazed at how quickly helen picks up the rules of the game and joins right in. as you can see from the photo above - even jillian likes to participate :) we got Uno for Christmas - it is a special Uno game that spits out a bunch of cards when you have to "draw from the pile" - sometimes you get a handful of cards and sometimes none! so much fun to hear their laughter as we play the game.

we also got Jenga for Christmas - all the kids enjoy this game ..... but trying to keep them from bumping the table -----well let's just say we need to work on that :)
