This post is for my Aunt Cindy and my cousin Kim!
To fully understand you must have some background. You see when my mom was young she had a board game called The Barbie Game. *Edit it was actually Aunt Cindy's game.* In it you have to do a bunch of things and eventually end up "Queen of the Prom" to win. My mom very much enjoys playing games and when she was younger Aunt Cindy played a lot of them with her :). Then one summer my cousin/mom's niece came to stay with them and every time (according to Grandma) mom wanted to do something Kim "wanted to play the Barbie Game". Grandma got so fed up that at the end of the summer she burned the Barbie Game!
Fast forward a few years and everyone gets a big kick out of remembering the Barbie Game and how they used to play it, Uncle Doug used to be "Queen of the Prom", that was all Kim wanted to do and how Grandma burned it. I grew up hearing these stories. Then they started to tell Grandma about how much it would be worth on ebay had she not burned it...LOL!
A few years ago Kim found a key chain that was a miniature version of the Barbie Game to give to mom. Then I found a replica of the Barbie Game while out Christmas shopping with Grandma. They were a fairly good deal so Grandma bought one for Kim and I got one for mom. They loved it!

I had actually only played the Barbie Game once in all this time we have had it but this morning mom asked me to play it with her. I am not really a game player like Suzanne but our morning job had just been canceled so I said sure. *Thankfully it does not take as long as Monopoly!*
This game is so far from reality it is crazy. Especially my home schooled, no dating, 21st Century reality! Allowance (whats that?) is $5, all the snacks and tickets and such are $1 and mom worries a little that it might be promoting a dating spirit. ;)
I got carried away and went I got the camera.
I won!! I am Queen of the Prom. *Mom liked that picture*
Mom wanted to take this one of me as the winner. She also got a lesson on holding my camera :)
So to Aunt Cindy and Kim, had you been around we all could have played the Barbie game together this morning. I hope you enjoyed the pictures...we love you!
