A Little Bit of Magic....

Or maybe better said, A Lot of Magic.  Just before Christmas, Patrick, Maddie's boyfriend, taught Maddie to play a card game called Magic.  Since Allie and Gabe are loyal followers of Patrick (literally and figuratively), he taught the game to them as well.  They immediately loved playing the game, and begged him to bring his cards every time he came over.  After such a success, Patrick decided to give them their own starter deck for Christmas.  Over the past month, their love of the game has increased so much, that the small deck of started cards was no longer enough.  They went to the store and purchased 3 more decks of cards to use.  They have happily spent the past few days spreading out their booty, dividing the spoils into individual decks and playing to their hearts content with the different cards and their uses.
