UrDreamPlanner's Friday Fun: Play Board Games!

Today, on the East Coast, it's raining cats and dogs!! Rain for most means staying indoors, finding a blanket and your favorite movie, and laying on the couch with your family. Just in case you are not in the mood for laying around and being comfy all day/weekend; play board games!

Board Games:

Monopoly

Clue

Life

Jumanji

Candyland

Scattergories

Scrabble

Sorry

Chutes & Ladders

Do these board games bring back memories for you? They do for me! Monopoly was my favorite board game to play; although I only finished it completely one time and won without having to quit because I went bankrupt..LOL! I always ended up in jail and had to try to roll doubles, never landed in Free Parking and I always tried to buy up the pink, red, yellow & dark blue properties; and stack them with red hotels and green houses..lol. I always picked the car! Such fun memories while writing this post!! What was your favorite board game to play?

When the weather is sour, like it is on today, pull out the board games. Pop some pop corn, order a pizza or two, gather the family and sit on the floor or at the kitchen table and play! Not only does rainy weather wash your car, but it gives you the opportunity to bond with your family & friends. You get to learn more about each others personalities, enjoy each others laughter and you give your televison a rest. 

So reach high up into your closet or take a trip into the basement and spread out the games. Allow each person to have a chance to pick a game that everyone will play, even if that means playing a game twice! Don't let the rain spoil your day! Have some fun and play some board games. ;-)

Play for Fun!

Christmas Fun w/Family!

Our Tree!

Christmas this year was great and rather different from other years. Graduating from college, having to grow up and pay bills, and truly learning to rely on God gave me a new view of Christmas and life all together. I've always knew that Jesus was the reason for the season, but this year I just had a greater appreciation for spending quality time with family. I brought gifts for my family because I was blessed financially to be able to do so and it made me happy to see them happy. I truly enjoyed Christmas this year. 

One thing that was extremely different was decorating. My family loves to decorate the house. We put Christmas cards everywhere, hang our stockings, decorate the tree right after Thanksgiving and are glued to the abcfamily 25 days of Christmas cartoon shows. This year life happened differently. We didn't get our tree until roughly 6 days before Christmas and didn't decorate it until Christmas Eve. And actually my mother decorated the tree all by herself while I watched from the couch and my little sister watched from her dreams...she was sleeping...LOL!! That was all the decorating we did. Not quite sure how things went so differently, but I must say my mother did an awesome job and everyone was happy!! 

Brunch in the living room! (L to R: Me, Mom, Little Sister)

Christmas Day started off early yet late for us. My mother was the first awake and me and my little sister was still in bed and it was hitting 8am so for us that was late. The day started early due to church starting 2 hours early, but it was well worth it. Church service was A-Ma-Zing!! Once we got home we enjoyed a homemade brunch made by me(the homefries & scrabbled cheese eggs) my mom(the pancakes) and little sister(the orange juice & plates). Brunch didn't take long to make and was sooo yummy!!! We pulled our little table in the living room and ate while watching Four Christmases and then opened our gifts! 

We then visited more family and ate more food and laughed even more and just truly enjoyed each others company! I love my family because there is truly never a dull moment. Someone is either going to say something backwards, get to serious, spill something...we all talk too loud..lol, but it is great!!! I love my family and wouldn't trade noone!

Christmas this year was a year to remember and I hope you enjoyed your Christmas holiday as well! Feel free to share your Christmas holiday as well!

Sincerely,
