Rigby Family Christmas/Bingo Party

Every year around Christmas my mom's side of the family gets together for a few games of Bingo and a big dinner. My grandpa especially likes to carry on the tradition in honor of my sweet grandma Lola who passed away about six and a half years ago. We had a great time this year reuniting with cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. We all miss Grandma very much and are thankful to Grandpa and everyone else involved (Mom and Natalie for bingo gifts!) for everything they do to prepare all year for this event. Another annual tradition Grandpa does is he brings one or two containers full of coins for everyone attending to guess how much is in each. Never before in all the year's that he's done this has a member of the Garner family guessed the closest... until this year. Abby guessed (well, her mom did) the closest on one of the containers and won about $43!!! It's more of a pride thing for her mom than the actual money contained within. :) We'll be putting those little coins towards her College Savings Fund.
