The Game is On

The game is on at the Gibbs’ house for Christmas! We got 3 new games and a fun pack of playing cards.

As we all get older buying gifts gets harder because if you need something during the year you just get it. I mean can you imagine if you waited till Christmas if you really needed new underwear? Eek!

Fun game night!

We have to get games that are fun but also easy for Eric to play. He does not read well so we can’t play those kind. So these are the games we ended up getting.

Yellowstone Monopoly – Eric kicked our butts the first game, I lost first and the guys played for over 5 hours till they stopped when supper was ready. Then Jeff and I played later alone and I was in jail over 20 times, that is a lot of $200.00 passing go I did not get, so needless to say Jeff kicked my butt that time and I might need to call the Guiness Book of Records for most times in jail during a Monopoly game. I think the belt buckle and Jamie’s house are bad luck, that is my story and I am sticking to it.

Shut the Box – this is a great one to teach math and it goes pretty quickly unlike the first monopoly game.

Hook It – another fun one this one is at Eric’s house and again the guys beat me every time. I am a stamper not a winner playing games I guess…ha!

Stamping With Di playing cards (I could not resist) – when I was ordering business cards and more post it notes I happened to see that I could get playing cards so they jumped into my cart pretty quick. Maybe I can win a game if my name is on the cards…ha! Anyone up for a game of fish?
