In cased you missed ESPN coverage….

….we held the annual family football game Thanksgiving weekend.  Turkey Bowl VII was the best game yet.  Son-in-law Paul, in the red shirt, captained the visitors again.  But it was his wife, in blue to the right, (daughter Janet) who designed and executed the play that was the highlight of the game:  a fake draw followed by a double-reverse and pass for a touchdown.  You don’t get to see that kind of razzle-dazzle in your average professional game.

Play probably stepped up a notch because of the friends our grandsons are now introducing to the tradition.  This is grandson Alex with Annie from, of all places, Devon, England.  What are the odds of that?  If you click to enlarge you’ll see Nick with his friend, Johanna.  Along with Sergei’s new “interest” Tess, these three young ladies not only are pretty and smart, they’re good athletes, too.  In the background, Luis isn’t so sure that his cousins really need girlfriends.

Unquestionably play was also improved by the addition of eye shadow to cut down the glare.  (Even though it was cloudy, it added a touch of realism though the visitors passed on that.)

And yes, my team won even though Paul’s team scored a few more touchdowns.  Grandpa’s rules!
