I always looked forward to Sundays when I was growing up. \u00a0We would go to church, come home and rest. Later in the day, we’d play board games or cards. Sunday was a day to relax and play from start to finish.\u00a0\u00a0I love that we did that as a family. We took the time to play, to hang out and to be. \u00a0I still love to end the weekend with a day of church, rest, movies and games.<\/p>\n

This game night is my tribute to fall. I added in flavors like\u00a0pumpkin and apples to the foods. \u00a0 I tried to create an atmosphere that was \u00a0relaxing, with\u00a0comfortable chairs and soft\u00a0lighting. \u00a0The decor of the room also\u00a0reflected the night’s theme.<\/p>\n

Sunday is game night in our home. It’s a wonderful way to end the weekend and begin a new week<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The\u00a0spicy\u00a0hummus topped with pumpkin spice pumpkin seeds was\u00a0bought from Trader Joe’s. It’s a game night favorite of ours. \u00a0I\u00a0picked vegetables that would also echo the fall theme in their colors of red, yellow and orange.<\/p>\n

For the sweet item, I made an \u00a0“Apple Crisp Dip.” \u00a0This is a variation of one I found on Pinterest. It has an apple pie filling\u00a0with a streusel top poured over cream cheese and served with Wheat thins.<\/p>\n

Having a cheese board is a wonderful way to have a\u00a0variety of foods in a small space. This one\u00a0incorporates some fall flavors in the mix. Gouda cheese is on the raised tier and below it is an array of crackers, fruit, nuts and a ready made bleu cheese dip.<\/p>\n

For drinks, we like to have plenty of water on hand. Often we just have sodas, but\u00a0tonight, I made an “Apple Cider Float.” \u00a0I got my inspiration for this drink from several sources, combining elements of different recipes to make these. \u00a0I added some vanilla wafer cookies to dip in the floats as we enjoyed them. \u00a0We just completed this bar\u00a0area, so the floats were the\u00a0first drinks\u00a0served here.<\/p>\n

We won’t tell you who won 😜. We enjoyed our fall game night. Just keeping it real, many game nights are no fuss like the next week’s when we ate left over snacks like this….<\/p>\n
