BINGO!

The only thing that Emily asked for from Santa was a Bingo "twirly whirly."  Since attending Turkey Bingo at Elizabeth's school, she has been fascinated by the game of Bingo and the cage with the balls in it. So, Santa complied and brought her a Bingo game, thinking that it would just sit on a shelf and get dusty.  Instead, Emily forces us to play Bingo all the time - she twirls the balls in the cage ("I'm the Bingo girl") and Elizabeth either yells out the numbers or plays - but one thing is for sure, Lee and I always have to play, sometimes with as many as three or four cards going at once.  The girls love it - and while I actually don't mind playing that much, the game is already driving Lee out of his mind!

Elizabeth plays with two cards at once - the game is actually great for her to work on recognizing larger numbers.
