For ten years, the Brouhard family has enjoyed a Christmas tradition with games and puzzles.
The names of the twelve family members are: Beth, Chey, Corynne, Cyrus, Deb, Doug, Elly, Jack, Karla, Mitch, Tony, and Zeke.
Each family member has a different favorite game: Azul, Bingo, Clue, Life, Monopoly, Play Nine, Risk, Scrabble, Sequence, Sorry, Ticket to Ride, and UNO.
The number of siblings that each family member has ranges from zero to six, with several members having the same number of siblings. No family member has exactly 2 siblings.
While playing the games, each family member enjoys a different favorite beverage:
1. Brew Ha-Ha – Coffee so funny you’ll snort foam.
2. Cousin Chaos Cooler – A mystery blend of whatever was left in the fridge.
3. The Cousin Mixer – Helps you remember who’s who this year.
4. Dad’s Backyard Brew – Tastes like summer and lawn clippings.
5. Dr. Peppier – For when regular Dr. Pepper just isn’t peppy enough.
6. Family Reunion Fuel – Caffeinated enough to survive small talk.
7. The Favorite Child Fizz – Sweet, bubbly, and full of confidence.
8. Grandma’s Secret Punch – No one knows what’s in it, but it disappears fast.
9. Kid Power Potion – Turns any 8-year-old into a blur of motion.
10. Peacekeeper Punch – Because sometimes family harmony needs a refill.
11. Sibling Squeeze – Lemonade made with love… and mild competition.
12. Tea-Rex – A prehistoric punch of flavor that’ll make you roar.
