No Ordinary Family

This past weekend, my lovely Godmother and aunt was in town visiting, so when I wasn't out riding my bike, I was hanging out at my parents house. Also, my brother and his wife, and my sister, were all in town as well, and when you combine that many of our family members in one house, good times are bound to happen.

For as long as I can remember, Friday night at my parents house has always been pizza night. Way back when, we would gather around the TV and watch all the shows on TGIF, man those were the days! But nowadays, it's mostly pizza [same great home made recipe] and beer [which has been substituted for TGIF.] The family wasted no time on Friday getting the entertainment going. First, my dad was presented his trophy [The Toilet Bowl Award] for finishing dead last in our fantasy football pick 'em league this year.

Shortly after the award presentation, my sister and her boyfriend decided it would be a good time to serenade the rest of us with some awkwardly loud noises. I'm sure these hidden talents will come in handy one day....

And people say I'm the crazy one.....

Unfortunately, the fun stopped there for Friday night. But I was back over on Sunday to enjoy some more delicious home cookin' and play a little friendly family game of Trivial Pursuit. My brother is very competitive [it doesn't run in the family or anything], so when he and Katie started to lose their lead things became much more intense. Nevertheless, my team [Erika, Aunt Paula, and myself] came through in the end and were victorious. I think that may have actually been the first time I've ever won at Trivial Pursuit as well. 

VICTORY!

It was another great weekend, with food, family, and laughs. Seriously, there's never a dull moment when you put us all together. I think deep down maybe we're all 6 years old at heart.
