have you ever seen the old tv show, "let's make a deal"?
my parents love to celebrate the new year with the grand kids playing their own version of this game show. my dad plays a pretty good leading role as 'monte' and all the kids come dressed up with a must-have sign begging for a deal.
(do you see luke skywalker joining in on the family fun? my mom LOVES him!)

kai is dressed as jimmer..."shoot me a three point deal!"
max wanted to be a soccer player and his sign is a picture of a game plan- no words:)

abe was the big JB (sadie even did his hair)--
"GIVE ME A BIEBERIFIC DEAL!"
abe couldn't believe that the word 'bieberific' wasn't in the dictionary.
sadie dressed like her new, soon-to-be baby sister that we like to call Tallulah
(i'm not sure how that name came about)
"my name is Tallulah, and i will kick and scream for a great deal!"
making deals with "monte" consists of picking behind box one, two or three...sometimes one door includes what's in monte's pocket or you have to sing a song or do a trick. sometimes you can make trades or if your lucky he will give you cash and a box. monte likes to mix it up and you had better watch out for ZONKS---lame things are always lurking behind some of the boxes.
it really is a fun tradition.

sleeping bags for everyone for our
family camp out this summer!!!

thanks grandma and grandpa!!! happy new year!
