My summer souvenirs....

So we went to Fairbanks and Homer this summer.  So what did I come home with?  Ticket to Ride!! I found all the versions I didn't have that you can't easily buy anymore!!

 

Fairbanks

Kenai (on the way to Homer)

Playing Emma

Ellie was helping me play Emma. 

 

This is the new version of Marrying Mr. Darcy. Such a fun girls' game!  If you like Jane Austen, you totally need this game.  This is a really simple card game, but the theme really comes out with the card text. 

Adam Gaming

Adam started learning 40K this summer!

We all learned Minecraft card game

Adam got to go to the game store to play 40K

Baby Shower Gifts

What to bring to a baby shower?  Games, of course!  We gave games this summer - with handmade baby blankets and usually diapers.  But the baby is eventually sleeping and it is time to games with your spouse!  We gave all two player games that can be played by tired parents!

 

Game Night Food

I'm always look for new game night foods!  This is my most recent success!  If you were to make these for game night, what I'd recommend (what I plan to do in the future) is make up a few batches and have in fridge, ready to bake, as needed. 

Calzone Pinwheels

Modified from Taste of Home

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup diced filling (so they had pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers and onions listed individually here... you can use whatever you have on hand and like on your pizza...I combined all their stuff into one entry)

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/4 tsp salt

1 pkg (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls

1 jar (14 oz) pizza sauce (I didn't end up putting this out...less to spill...and no one seemed to miss it!)

Preheat oven to 375.  Mix first six ingredients (everything but rolls and pizza sauce).  Unroll crescent dough and separate into four rectangles; press perforations to seal.  Spread each rectangle with cheese mixture to within 1/4 in. Roll up jelly roll style, starting with short end.  Pinch seam to seal.

Using a serrated knife, cut each roll into four slices.  Place on greased baking sheet, cut side down. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with pizza sauces.

Makes 16 appetizers. 

Voltron Game

 

We found this Voltron game used...the boys love Voltron. This game...not so much...first says 14+ and that's pretty true. And it just isn't that great of game. But the figures are great as the boys love playing with those! So really we got our money out of those....

Painting with Daddy

Ray is teaching our boys to paint miniatures already!
