Cookie anyone? ... No just the Frosting Please!!

Ian got himself a cookie off the counter the other day and this was the end result...

Winner

As the battle for Longest Road and Largest Army was under way, Landon, Matthew and Mom teamed up and worked together to play a monumental game of Settlers of Catan.

Mom tried to play fair and let the boys do what they felt they needed to do to win the game.  Alas, in the end it was not Mom who won.  No not even by a long shot!  Matthew played the best game of his life thus far!  He was sneaky and stealthy, but not malicious nor mean.  Landon's tactic was to gain the longest road and keep the robber on Mom all the while Matthew built up an empire of the Largest army and plenty of cities to help him attain his win.  He swept through like a thief in the night and stole the Longest Road right out of Landon's grasp and took the victory!

It was a great game.  I was so impressed with the skill my boys played with.  I was very happy to see them compete, not annihilate.
