pass the pigs

My sister-in-law, Tara, blogged about this game a long time ago. I finally came across it in Target at the beginning of the summer and we've been addicted ever since. Thanks Tara!
It's rare to find a game that everyone in the family can play. With "Pass the Pigs" you don't have to play with teams to include the little ones and it is really short(or long if you play several rounds) when you don't have much time. We have been playing it almost every night before the girls go to bed. It's a great incentive for the girls to hurry and get ready for bed, get their teeth brushed, etc.
Brenna is convinced that she always gets a "pig out" and she does.
Eliza roars with laughter no matter whats going on. And she shakes the pigs in her hands before she tosses them on the table as if it's going to make a difference in the outcome.
Emma Grace chants "20, 20, 20" before almost every roll. We need to teach her to chant "big money, big money".
It's really simple but brings out a ton of laughs! So I highly recommend this game!!

Oh man -- I remember this game! We used to own it and played it all the time with Eden and even Josh in California. I think it got lost in the move somehow. It is a great family game. Eden always won.
