Family Game Night
I grew up playing lots of games with my family, and as a parent, I looked forward to the day when my kids would be old enough to play games with me. That day has arrived! And we’ve been enjoying many family game nights together over the past several weeks, and we are looking forward to many more in the months and years to come. I’ve started making a list of card games and board games we love as well as ones we’d love to add to our collection…

Growing up, we played a lot of card games and board games. One of our favorite board games then and now is Aggravation. Santa leaves a new game under the tree each year. A couple years ago, the game was Carcassone. That one still gets played a lot. This year, I hear Santa is leaving Blokus :)
What a FUN tradition! There will be several new-to-us games under the tree this year, including a few limited edition Harry Potter versions of popular board games (Clue and Scene It?) that I found gently used on eBay.
