Christmas Advent Day Nine

 

The game for our family Christmas night tonight was a last minute on the spot made up game that only David, Nevaeh and Jie could play as I had to host. 

I sent out texts to everyone with the rules of the game which read as follows:

Welcome to tonight’s Family Game Night

In two minutes you will receive a list. 

You must find and photo everything on that list. 

You must then send the photos to me using your phone.

The first person to send everything to me on that list wins!

 

The List:

The words “Merry Christmas”

The whole Cat

The Whole Dog

Nevaeh smiling

Jie smiling 

A box 

Something actually “Gold”

A bar of soap

A dolphin

A coin

As soon as I said Go.. Jie and David were up and snapping and sending pics. 

Jie went straight into Nevaeh’s room to target her smile first which was a good strategy at first but Nevaeh whom opted out of the game or even leaving her bed.. hid under her doona where she could not be seen. 

Frustrated for losing time, Jie then posed for a selfie of himself smiling and sent it through to me with a photo of the Dog and the Cat.

But David was already leading with photos of a box, the words “Merry Christmas”, the dog and the cat!

It got close when the boys were pretty much on par when they both got photos of Jies bar of soap and money but both got stuck on finding “real gold”. 

Two out of around 40 of my earrings were actually Gold and so Jie thought he’d cheat by taking a photo of every single earring in the one pic (which I didn’t accept). David looked hard and sent me - the wrong set - but then came straight to me for my engagement ring! Jie also settled for the engagement ring. 

David tried to get Jie to smile BUT. I threw “getting Jie and Nevaeh to smile” out of the contest as Miss Moody didn’t want anyone in her room or to partake in our “lame” game!

So.. 

It was down to both boys having to find a dolphin! 

There are two dolphins in our house and they are cut out dolphin shapes for a tea light candle burner which sits on top of the kitchen cupboards where the cups go!

The boys entered various parts of the house for a bit until I narrowed it down to the kitchen. 

Finally… David saw it first, snapped it and sent it! 

David was again our winner of our Family games night!!

Because it was just the two of them playing and because Jie also lost last time and was so desperate to win tonight I did a runner up prize. 

Jie got a little tin of cookies!

And David got a $30 Movie Voucher!

GG’s Fam!
