Default Thanksgiving Soccer Championship

Ah, that wonderful time after Thanksgiving dinner. I'm just getting cozy and ready to doze when ...

"C'mon, Granny Helen, we're going to play soccer! Boys against girls." Now that's irresistable to someone with a camera.

JJ is 7. Z will be 10 next month. GG (great grandma) is almost 82, but still wants to be goalie. The big kids are in their 30's. And Lucia the dog is the referee, "because she's always in the middle of things."

So here are just a few snaps from the big game.

JJ's ball


She plays just like her brother!


C'mon, JJ, another goal!

And who won? We all did, especially me!

These are some great pics. Looks like you all had amazing fun together. I hope they weren't too harsh on G'G'ma. TFS.

Hi Helen, From the sofa to the playing field, from the playing field to the computer, from the computer to DPS. Is life predictable? Uh, uh. I enjoyed placing facing with names. Great shots!

Thanks, Michelle. GG can hold her own! She's quite the matriarch.
