| On Monday morning, Oct. 3rd, I went to the funeral of my friend, Steve Calabrese. He was a wonderful, kind and hilarious man who I admire very much. His step-daughter talked about fun family trips they had in the car and how they would play movie trivia and even family trivia! That got me to thinking that I have never done something like that and we really needed a fun and memorable family home evening so I started digging through old family letters and this blog for some fun questions and memories. There was much to be found!  |
| Dad and Tess showing their answers. They look like they had fun! |
 |
| Rustin (trying to cover-up in his blanket) shows his answer board. He had more fun drawing all over his board than anything! |
Liv used on of our huge white boards and was on the stairs showing us her GIANT answers.
Chloe used a clip board and took this very seriously!
 |
| And the winner is... TESS! All the girls did really well and were right behind Tess. The boys... not so much! |
