New Game Favorites!

After a weekend of cold weather & snowy days, we now have 2 new favorite family games at our house! It started on Saturday when Matt & the boys were napping....I was playing "Clue" (an all-time favorite) with the girls. After playing a few games of that, I decided it was time to get into the game closet & teach the girls a new game....first up, Rummikub! Matt & I used to play this with other couples when we were at BYU....but, it hadn't been played for a LONG TIME! Abbie & Annie really got into it...they love a challenge & playing out their next move!

Then, Sunday morning (our church doesn't meet until 1pm), the girls were asking to play Rummikub again....but, for some reason, Matt pulled out Life! I don't think we have ever played it with them....but, both girls had a lot of fun with this one too....

We love games at our house...especially ones that we can play together! If you have some suggestions, I'd love to hear them! Our current favorites include: Clue, Mexican Train, Cranium (Family Fun Edition), now along with Rummikub & Life!! :)

I can't wait until our girls are big enough to play real games. Right now our favorites are pretty pretty princess and don't break the ice. :)

We are a big game family too. We just taught our boys how to play Racko and they loved it. Our other favorites for the older ones are battleship, sorry, Castlekeep and for our 2-3 year old it is Hisss (love this game-even my older ones like to play) and Zingo.

I love LIFE!!! Too bad it has a million small pieces. Have to wait till the girls get older :)
