Christmas and Beyond

Christmas was very low key this year. We did more celebrating on Christmas Eve when the adult kids were here than we did on Christmas Day. We really spent more time playing games together than anything. Here are a few pictures of our time.


Tyler got some sort of game where you get arms and legs bitten off by a shark. It's simple and it goes fast.




I think Rummikub is our official family game. I got several used copies, but they are missing a few pieces, so when I shop for used games for my flea market shop, I keep my eye open for them. We have a complete set, and now Jessica has a complete set for her family. We also played Apples to Apples freestyle a lot. Now that they've played freestyle, they don't want to play the traditional game anymore.



River helped make the birthday cake for Jesus.


Then River had her second birthday December 30th.

 I got her a sleeping bag because they like to go camping.

 Also got her crayons, markers and a coloring book because she's starting "writing" on my papers.


It was a pretty good holiday season, but we are dealing with some issues that I'll share more about once we know what is going to happen.

One of the best things we did was a photo shoot with the girls. I'll share those photos next time. 

In the meantime, please share your family's favorite board game.

We enjoy playing Othello.

We enjoy a game called qwixx. It's more of a dice game but so fun!

We like a card game I found at Barnes & Noble on clearance for $5. It's called 99.

Our family game is Pictionary. We always have a blast when we play it and have our own "house" rules.

We started playing ticket to Ride. It's so much fun, and there are a lot of expansion packs for it. We don't have any of them, but our friends do. We also love to play Farkle, which is a dice game.

Bubble Talk is our favorite. It's like Apples to Apples, but using hilarious photos. We don't get tired of it.

What a variety of fun games! We have a very large pile we've gotten used that we need to try before taking them into our shop. We'll probably end up keeping some.
