Game On!

Tonight was game night. Violet and Hayden started out playing the penguin fishing game while Libby and I cleaned up in the kitchen. After I heard the gears grind on the game, I decided to intervene. We played the fishing game for a bit until Hayden decided it was time to put it away. After…
