First Annual Thanksgiving Wii Bowling Tournament!

This is the First Annual Thanksgiving Wii Bowling Tournament! I made a bracket, we drew for slots (I won the coveted "bye" to the next round) and Steven and Dad started things off while we waited for the Turkey to cook. Also- this way we had something to do besides watch the Dog Show :)Steven showing us how it is done!
Steven wins over Dad by three points. Dad drowns his sorrows of being knocked out of the tournament so early with a drink.
Such good sports! And they didn't even get a practice round!
This is my 85 year old Grandmother saying "I don't do bowling... I'm so terrible... I've never played Wii"... right before she kicked Bill's butt in the second game of the day! She also got the first "TURKEY" of the day. Three strikes in a row!

Grandma with NO Wii experience beats Bill by 31 points. Bill drowns his sorrows of being knocked out of the tournament so early by shouting that the Wii is rigged. :)Bill called for a Wii sensor bar test, but as the Thanksgiving Bowling Tournament Comissioner, I let Grandma's win stand.

Next up- Jan vs. Mom. The sibling rivalry continues in a fight to the death. With a three point lead- Jan takes the round and the second "TURKEY" of the day!
Mom has a lot of fun playing the Wii. I love how excited she gets. Jan was the same way, it worked out well that they'd play each other- it was a great match up and a CLOSE game!

This concluded round 1 of the tournament! The advancing brackets show Grandma will play Steven and Jan will play Me!

This is also where we took a break to eat some real turkey!Grandma makes an impressive showing while Jan, Mom and I do dishes. She beats Steven in the biggest upset of the day! This was also the lowest scoring game...
At this point we are all saying "She could go all the way!"... Steven is slightly upset at losing his pro status, but he graciously shakes Grandma's hand.
I make a decent showing for myself, but get blown out of the water by the highest score all day!
She's got some talent in there! She'll take on Grandma in the finals!
These two are gearing up for the competition's close. Who will be the winner??
In the end, Grandma edges out with a victory over Jan!
And she shows just how excited she is in her victory photo!
Jan giving the winner some nice bunny ears.
Grandma proudly shows off her accomplishment for the day- the final bracket with her name in the CHAMPION slot.

Love to Grandma- the woman who thought she couldn't do it- beat us all at Wii Bowling!!
