Feb. Bunco 09

This month bunco was hosted by Leigh. She made baked potatoes and the fixin's along with barbequed chicken and chips and dip. We had a WW chocolate pie and a giant birthday cookie that Wendy brought for Leigh.

Jenn W couldn't stay but she stopped by for just a few minutes to say hi! Naturally she had to get her photo with Wendy before she left.



We ended up with one to many to play so Leigh sat out. She took the camera and took some photos. I am not sure what is going on in these photos but I am sure it was hilarious.





Here are a couple of group shots:





The winners



The subs (thanks Maggie, Carol, Debbie and Melissa)



Singing Happy Birthday to Leigh



This would have been a great shot of Courtney and Sheri but Sheri hid her face so it is a great shot of Courtney.



And the group photo of the night (although the lighting is horrible):

January Bunco 09

We are into 2009 and the playing bunco doesn't stop. We decided to just go out to eat this month and chose Firebird's as our destination. Firebird's has been officially silly sisterfied! We had a good time eating and then of course had dessert.









The dessert was obviously really good!



And then we wanted to take a group photo so we asked our waiter to take the photo for us. Then the creepy manager guy (who had already been over flirting with a few of us) comes over and says wait I will take it, don't you want your waiter to be in the photo. We all thought "no" but said "yes". So here is the same picture twice. Once in its original form and then cropped down to the way we wanted it taken in the first place (zoomed and no waiter)!

Christmas Bunco

We had our Christmas bunco last night. Linda was the hostest but Josh was sick so Cheryl was nice enough to let Linda host at her house. We had yummy Coletta's pizza and some kind of truffle for dessert. Plus there was chocolate everywhere!

We don't play bunco on this night (much to Jenn W's delight) because we bring a gift and play the dirty Santa game. We have the best gifts brought so no one goes home with a bad gift.

Leigh and Wendy also brought us some cute little gifts and Leigh had a sorta game. There was an extra prize and whoever had the words Merry Christmas on the bottom of their bucket won. Here we all looked at once:



There were several Starbucks gift cards, a couple of bracelets, a couple of cute Christmas decorations, a scarf, a wallet, a blanket and a Twilight book (which grabbed the attention and loud screams of several players).





We did play one big round of bunco to see who gets to pick the big candy bars first. Just a casual round on the floor.





Jenn W and Kelley won first:




Here are some random photos of the night:











And then we tried to take a group photo by using the timer on the camera and a shelf against a wall. It was interesting, here is the progression of that:

Nope, not it:


Everybody ready except Jenn L:


And the final one (it is a little off centered but pretty good considering it was taken blindly)

Nov. Bunco

We had our Nov. bunco at Cherry's house. She had roast beef sandwiches with au jus, broccoli salad, spinach dip and potato salad. After we feasted on that we sang Happy Birthday to Wendy and gave her some small gifts. Then we had ice cream cake for dessert!







Wendy had a hard time accepting that Laura's hampster was a boy and did not have a tumor.




We also found another new way to roll the dice. Place the dice on the end of spoons and then smack the spoons. The dice go flying in the air -- too funny!




Then we had a small photo session. I love Cherry's house with the stairs and balcony and had been wanting to take these photos for a while. I think they turned out really good. (and thanks to Laura for taking these photos for us)



Here is the traditional Wendy/Jen picture for the night along with a couple of others.








This picture is of the 5 remaining original members. We started this bunco group 4 years ago this month. It is our 4 yr. buncversary. It has been one of the best things I have in my life (personally) and I imagine the others would agree.

Oct. Bunco

We had bunco this month at Michelle's. She had baked potatoes with all the stuff to go on it. Then she ordered these homemade pies from the lady who makes them for Vinegar Jim's, so goooooood!

Paula was one of our subs and it was her birthday so we sang happy birthday to her.



Debbie, another one of our subs, rolled the first big bunco of the night.




Kelley, Jennifer and Linda were the winners for the evening. These are cute glow witches from Avon and they sing "Ghouls Just Want to Have Fun", so appropriate.




And then here is the traditional Jen/Wendy pose and a couple others.





And here is Michelle with her cowardly lion toy from McDonald's.
