Having a few families over to watch any important game makes it so much more fun.  But of course you're going to want to do something a bit more substantial than chips and salsa.  And you also want to make sure both the adults and the kids are happy because you are that kind of a host.  Here's a fun Skewered Up menu that will work for everyone including the host (with a dip and some brownies thrown in!).  Put out a serve yourself bar, with plenty of juices and flavored sparkling water or club sodas for the younger set.  You might want to serve some mocktails, too, which make any party feel pretty special for the kids.

Serve the skewers buffet style and know that they are excellent at room temperature as well.
