6 or 7 years ago, we began the tradition of doing a special activity at Christmas. That has evolved over the years to a bowling party with pizza after. Most years, like this one, my sister and her husband, my friend and her husband, and the Bier kids come. While sadly my brother's family couldn't come, the Kestler girls and Momoko came and what fun that was.
Watching Kayla and Susie bowl for the first time was priceless. Juliet outdid herself in the second game and loved it. Rightly so with three strikes and a spare. Oh and we used bumpers - we ain't ashamed to admit it. Some of us may have also tried to use the bumpers to help our game.

After bowling, we had pizza and games. Good times for us all. To quote Susie, "we played Apples to Apples and Miss Holly and I were on a team. We won the first game, but we didn't win the next game. We had to give other people a chance to win." (Shades of Holly in that statement?) As much as we had a great time, I missed Evan and Rachel. It is good that they are in college or working. But still, it was different without them. Yet change is inevitable. And this time next year, we will have a little one in our midst. One day, maybe this little one will be bowling with us and Matthew will be teaching him how to bowl.

Facebook reminded me today of bygone bowling years. We have all grown a little.
