Third Times a Charm

Last but not least was a semi-impromptu gathering with some of the Ekern clan. Mom made another amazing meal..this time lasagna, and the crew settled in for a laid back evening of food, football, games, and some delicious drinks.

If you can believe it we even got MY DAD to try out Guitar Hero. It may have only been for like 10 bars, but he tried it. Finn was a big helper with the guitar...
And then we broke out Catch Phrase, dipped into Dad's Good Sh*t and general merriment commenced. Oh yeah...and more reading. Finn demanded more reading. Who would turn this kid away?
It was such a fun night. All of the cousins are fairly spread out and it was so much fun to get together even though we weren't complete. Luke and Trish were in Madison taking care of their newest addition--Evelyn. Congrats to them, and thanks to all for making the Holidays so much fun!

Wish I had not been on call. Looks like I missed a great time!
Hopefully next year.
The Ekern boys resemble Cheap Trick there playing their geetars.
