Farkletastic

Every year, the day after Thanksgiving, we celebrate the Family Farkle Festival. This year marked the festival’s sixth anniversary. We gathered, once again, at Jack and Janet’s house for the celebration. Those in attendance were: Roger & Babs Cheatham; Sarah Cheatham; Josh Cheatham; Jeffrey, Emily, and Rebekah Harris; Julius & Kimberly Patton; Jack & Janet Patton; Jeff, Cheri, Cadie, and Maddie Patton; and Kelly & Laura Greenleaf. We had just as much fun as ever, laughing and heckling while we played. The big winners were:

Babs Cheatham – Lowest Individual Game & Worst Farkler
Roger Cheatham – Highest Individual Game & 3rd Place
Emily Harris – 2nd Place
Kimberly Patton – Most Flat Out Farkles
Laura Greenleaf – 1st Place
Jeffrey Harris – Lucile Cheatham Congeniality Award

I know, I know…we’re a weird bunch. But, we have so much fun, and it’s always such a good time, a way to let loose and just enjoy being together as a family. If it makes you feel any better, we only get to do this once a year. Never heard of Farkle? Let your imagination run wild, then Google it.
