Our family rocks at trivia night!

Last night we went to a fund-raising trivia night at my mother's church. "We" being my husband, my 12-year-old son, my 4-year-old daughter (who was in childcare for most of the event) and myself. My mother and sister had donated for an entire table. At our table there was my mother, my younger sister and her husband, my older sister and her two adult daughters, and my aforementioned family.
To be sure, we wanted -- and hoped -- to win. Both to win back some of the money my sister and mother had donated, and for the honor. We had a great mix of people that have a wide variety of interests and ages. We felt confident that we would do well. And we did. We earned third place table, narrowly missing second place.
But the real winning came in the fun that we had. We laughed, we cheered, we shouted. We had a fantastic time together. I'm so fortunate to have the family members that I have, and I'm so glad that my children are able to see how much fun families can have together.
