As a child on Christmas day after we'd stuffed ourselves with turkey we would always play games as a family and now with my girls the same thing happens....Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without settling down to an afternoon of family fun playing some games....
These
are some of mine and my girls favourite games....Some we want and some
we have played and loved....Usually on these types of posts I would tell
you the prices and the cheapest place to get it but with it coming up
to Christmas the prices are changing all the time so do shop around.
***I wrote this before we reviewed Disney Pictopia...I would have to add that to this list too!***
Pie Face Game

The exciting Pie Face game is filled with fun and suspense, and somebody’s bound to get splatted! Just put some delicious whipped cream from home or the wet sponge on the hand of this hilarious game unit and start turning the handles.
