Description

101 Group theme entry. "I'll see you 5 crackers and raise you 2!"

I had originally asked my dad to pose for me because he is into the whole cowboy/gambling/ kenny rogers thing. He at first didn't want to do it, then when I got to his house, he had silver dollars, his cards, armband and cowboy hat ready to go! Even wore his boots! I took one of him by himself, but when my 4 year old Sierra wanted a cracker, I got this idea. He didn't have cookies, so, we did crackers and a hard drink of whole milk! :)
It turned out perfect for the theme of Sierra trying to outdo grandpas hand!Happy Theme Day,101 group!
