Big victory

Last night our family played our collective favorite game, Dutch Blitz, for about an hour and kept a cumulative score running.  The competition was getting fierce and loud at times... but guess who emerged as the final winner -- by one point -- at the end......  Rayna!!

This is incredible for many reasons, but primarily because it is a game of speed -- which has never been her forte in the past.  I never, never thought I would see the day when she would be able to beat her very competitive brothers (not to mention her parents, who, I might add, are not too shabby at this game!).

We did realize towards the end that she seemed to be stacking her deck a bit for the beginning of each hand, but even then I was just impressed that she knew how to do that.  We told her to stop, which she did -- and she still won the final round.

Way to go Rayna!
