Tonight I beat Keith Parker in Monopoly. Yes that's right I beat the financial wizard himself at "his" game. I am thankful for family game nights. I grew up in a gaming family. When all of our cousins came in to town it was always skip bo, yahtzee, phase 10, bananagrams, catch phrase, spades, or various board games. I have great memories playing "cut throat" skip bo with a grandmother that refused to lose her 5-9 year old grandkids. I remember fondly the competitive banter and epic battles between the "hubs" and "pips." I loved watching new additions to the family squirm through the first few games trying to figure out just how much smack they could throw in the mix. In fact Ashley solidified herself as a member of the family because of her value in game nights. After a night of getting the best of my father in law, I am thankful for family game nights.
