Several months ago, we started "Game Night" on Wednesday nights. Once we clear the table, we let the girls pick one or two games and then we spent the rest of the night (until bedtime) playing supper. The girls are really good about getting their showers early and getting everything ready so that we can have at least an hour of uninterrupted playing time.
We have a full shelf of games in our closet, and while Chris isn't a huge board game fan, he enjoys playing games with the girls. I love trivia games, and card games are always fun as well. Cass LOVES Monopoly and generally kicks our butts at it! Cami has several Littlest Pet Shop games that she loves to play.
However, sometimes it is really hard for us to find games that all four of us can play -- Cami is 7 and Cass is 12, so some games that Cami enjoys are really so simplistic for us, and some games that we love are just too hard for Cami. Here are the games that we have; I would LOVE it if you guys would suggest some games that your families enjoy playing that we might like as well. We're open to just about everything -- even different ideas on how to use the games we already have (like checkers, dominoes, cards, etc).
