the torgerson crew got together for the holidays at our house this year after the new year. i always like to add extra fun, so we tried a giant candy memory game with a twist .
not only did they need to remember what cards were where, but they had to figure out the clues.
andrew with a match
grandma's favorite match
aww, brent got a match (i think he shared these with joanna)
mairin with a sweet match
this was a stumper for the kids.
brian was desperate to be in a picture...
thank goodness chaya got a match (candy is her favorite thing in the WHOLE world)
amelia and brian
best line of the day, "hey, you didn't take my picture". after people were winning and getting matches i started taking pictures. brian was the first winner and was extremely bummed i had missed his big moment. i think i hear a wambulance calling your name, brian!
zach and joanna managed to be the big losers of the game with no matches.

charity work this year went to hunger free mcleod. everyone brought over money or food to help feed kids on the weekends.
then, all the cousins worked together to bag up cereal for the cause, too. it was a marathon packaging event. we ended up with about 100 baggies.
zach trying not to be part of the chaos, he was the trusty labeler.
grandma and i were in charge of quality control
