And not of the farmer-had-a-dog variety. More along the lines of this...
It has been a Willis family tradition for, well, a while now {I know it pre-dates my children by about a year or two, at least}. Recently, we have had to make our own bingo cards {no blaming the card, then, right?} Aunt Stacey and Uncle David were hard at work on theirs.
All players bring prizes for the table and my FIL and Jane add a number of "signature" items. If you bingo, you pick a prize from the table.
Once everyone has had the opportunity to bingo once {this is usually when all the "big" bingo items are selected}, then we keep playing until the table looks more like this.
Our signature items this year was a drill that Nick scored when he bingoed. We managed to score quite a few good items...this was our loot after Bingo closed down.
In addition to bingo and a great brunch there were gifts for the children:
{three generations of Willis men}
there were stockings for everyone...
lots of playtime with cousins...
that even included some football in our new UA football ensemble...complete with a semi-Heis.man pose that Banks was trying to teach him to do!
We had a lovely time celebrating with Nick's family--enjoying the food, family and fun!
