Game Night

by

Tonight was just cool enough that we could light up our new/rebuilt family room fireplace. My youngest son really wanted to have a game night, so we broke out the Scrabble. What fun to see our little guys thinking up words and adding up their points. 

And, of course we followed this with big mugs of hot cocoa. I love game night. Don’t you?

What’s your family’s favorite game to play together?

  1. Is there any game more fun than Scrabble? We love Monopoly too!
    Your fireplace looks lovely, and the hot chocolate sounds perfect. Lucky you to be having such cool weather.
    Happy Monday, Elizabeth.

  2. Our favorite game turned into a blog series for us… Which Came First? We think your boys would love it! Had a game night last week when the power went out and we can't wait for weekends upstate when we can play in front of the fire.

  3. That is so sweet and I love the pictures…..looks so cozy. I LOVE Scrabble…in fact love games in general, play a fierce game of Monopoly where the competition can get fierce:)
    Unfortunately with my boys being older, we have not played a game in a long time, but normally at Christmas when we have family visting, I can get them to sit down for a game or two and its always such fun.
    Hope you have a wonderful start to your week!

  4. Elizabeth,
    Fantastic way to spell it out~
    Wonder who spelled words like "wear" – Hen" and "Zen"
    ha ha…
    We have a card game that we play with another family which is great fun…called "Domino" but you have to say it with a thick Italian accent! We taught my Dad last summer and he loves playing card games.

  5. Games are a great way to spend an evening with your family. The husband and I play scrabble a lot during the winter months when we have time to slow down.

    Enjoy your day!

  11. We are a huge game family – I have an enormous closet full of esoteric board games from when the kids were younger. Scrabble is still a family favorite and we are at the point where winning is no longer a given for my husband or me!

  12. Wonderful Elizabeth! We've been playing Banana Gram. The competition is fierce in my home .. my daughter always wins. I need to play more .) your fireplace looks warm and cozy!

  13. Hi Elizabeth! What a lovely mental picture of your family gathered around the fire with hot cocoa and Scrabble. When I was growing up, we played a lot of games too and it was always fun. I don't play often enough now, but now you've given me the bug to break out one of them! And what better time than fall? Hope you're loving September! I am. I've been so very busy, I haven't had the chance to visit my fave blogs as much as I'd like, but you're definitely on that fave list! HAPPY AUTUMN! ~xoSandy

  15. Beautiful pictures and who doesn't love to play Scrabble? So fun!! Sounds like you all had the perfect family evening, even more so since it ended with mugs of hot cocoa!:-). XX

  17. My husband is lethal at Scrabble, so I avoid playing it with him! We just had a Monopoly night a few weeks ago (I lost miserably!). Love having game night!

    We used to have a game night w/friends about once a month, playing group games like Apples to Apples. I miss those times! Nothing beats a good game night.

  18. We used to play this all the time too! Now when they are all away at school, we still can continue playing on our iPhones with Words with Friends. Gotta love technology!
