Traditionally, the family holiday “Game Day” takes place the day after Thanksgiving. We invite friends over, eat Thanksgiving leftovers and play games (remember the last one?)

This past year’s Game Day (2008) had to be postponed due to a death in the family, and consequently, a trip out of state to attend the funeral. But we never forgot it, and told our friends to keep their calendars open for January. Last Saturday we were finally able to continue our Game Day tradition (although a couple months late!) and celebrate for the first time in our new house with new friends.

We obviously didn’t have Thanksgiving leftovers to eat (I should hope not…), but Game Day always involves a potluck, so everyone brought a dish to share. We had many vigorous (sometimes violent) rounds of “I Never”, some “Guesstures”, “Secret Identity” and “Beyond Balderdash”. Laughter filled the house for the afternoon and evening as we enjoyed the fellowship and fun with each other.

I didn’t get pictures of everybody who came, but here are a few to give you a glimpse of our party;

Everyone was dismayed that Game Day is held only once a year, but I look forward to our next one at Providence Glen. It’s so much fun!
