You can be a winner at the game of Life

Saturday afternoon Neil, Julie and Lori all came over to our house to see our new wood floors, our remodeled bathroom, have lunch and just hang out for a while before Neil and Julie had to head back to Missouri.

We sent the boys out to pick up Chili's to-go and Julie, Lori and I got to play Rock Band for a little bit *grins* Lori is a rock star on the drums and Julie plays the guitar in real life, so I got stuck with the singing part *laughs* I think I brought the band down a few notches, but it sure was fun!

The boys returned with our scrumptious lunch and we enjoyed watching some of the winter Olympics while we chowed down on chips and queso!

After lunch we had just enough time for a intense game of "Life"....
Kenny and I had the original old game of Life from the 1940's that we have played a couple of times, but Kenny bought me this new game of Life for Christmas last year and it was such fun! It is really updated, for example you have to take out a student loan to "go to college", you get raises on your job along the path of life, or you can lose your job and if you are the policeman you can catch players "speeding". We really had fun!Judging from this picture you might think Lori was the big winner, but no! Kenny and Neil, the Doctor and Lawyer were battling it out until the last turn and Neil was the supreme champion *grins*Thanks for coming over to play with us! We love you guys!!
