Christmas Ping-Pong Tournament!

Jessa and Nate have a ping-pong table in their garage, so on Christmas night, the whole family (except the Great-Grandmas, Jessa, Jack, & Silas) participated in a ping-pong tournament! Nate drew up brackets, and the fun began!

Bryan showed off some pretty sweet moves.

Eli had a blast and did a great job (with a bit of help from Daddy, of course!)


Grandpa Ross was quite the threat--at almost 83!!

Ben playing Uncle Steve--pretty intense!

Sibling rivalry -- Denise vs. Dianne...I think Denise won.


My claim to fame of the evening...beating my cousin Alyssa in the toilet-bowl championship (the winner of the loser's bracket). She put up a good fight!

Dennis beat out Steve in the championship game...of course he didn't really need this win to boost his ego. Whether it's golf, hunting, or ping pong, my dad likes to win!

Ross took seriously his job as line judge and score-keeper. It was a fun evening full of a lot of laughs!
