Sweet, Sweet Victory



If you know my family at all, you've probably heard about our annual Thanksgiving Day tradition. Every year between dinner and dessert we kill a little time with a round of gambling Yahtzee. Everyone antes up $5 to play, spreads themselves out between two or three large tables, and then we decide if the kitty should be split between the winners from each table or if we will give one lump sum to the overall high score winner. This year we decided that the winner should take all: $80 from the sixteen players.

You can bet that there were fifteen bummed out adult losers when this little four-year-old walked away with all that cash :)

He got lucky and scored a Yahtzee on his very first roll! He got another one a few rounds later. He also managed to fill in every single box in the scoresheet, maxing out most of the values. Oh, did I mention that he's never even played the game before!?! All of that beginner's luck and pocket full of cash translated into a big Lego off-road fire engine set that he has been wanting for a very long time. He also shared his winnings and bought Sutton a monster truck game for the Wii ♥


He looks a little crazy here lol, but it was the only time I could get him to look up from his assembly job!


This boy is Lego cRaZy!
