Hats Off to 2010

This month's theme was "Hats Off to 2010!" Here are our score cards . . .

DON'T YOU LOVE THE HATS!!!!
Here are two of our lovely ladies in their hats. Upon arrival everyone chose a hat. However, every time there was a bunco we had to switch hats. There were some special prizes throughout the evening as well. You just had to have the right hat on at the right time!

Tami was back! We missed her . . .

We're so glad we got to meet Chase (Tami's precious little boy). . .

Reegan (in her heels, dress, and princess crown) joined us for some fun. . .

The WHOLE group! Nobody was gone this month. . .

Here's to a FANTASTIC 2010!

Bunco in July

July's Bunco theme was WEDDINGS! We had such a great time sharing stories and pictures, dressing up, celebrating with a champagne toast, and ending the night with sparklers! Oh, and no wedding is complete without a wedding cake! Way to go Erin! The cake was awesome and delicious! So fun!

Birthday Time!

Barrie hosted a very fun night of Unbirthday Bunco. It turns out it was her son Ethan's 10th birthday so it was an Unbirthday and Birthday party! Actually, I guess you could call it our bunco birthday as well as we played for our 12th month last night:)

Here are a few of the birthday girls having fun . . .

Andrea, Dory, and Rebecca . . .

We all coveted the beautiful weather at the outdoor table. . .

Tracy and Erin . . .

The birthday boy!

GOOFY GIRLS!!!!!

The group . . . apparently Erin, Greta, and Mary missed the fact that it was dress for Halloween Unbirthday night - wear your orange or black!

What good lookin' ladies. . .

Happy Birthday and Unbirthday!

Our bunco group is about to have our 12th evening of rolling the dice . . it's our bunco birthday and our unbirthdays! That's right, we've already had one whole year of invites, "so good to see yous", tasty treats, tossing the dice, dancing, hand shaking, and laughing until we cry. It's time to celebrate that year of girly fun!

Don't forget about your UNBIRTHDAY PARTY on Wednesday. Put on your best party clothes, hats, crowns, whatever and come to Barrie's house ready to celebrate. Bring a small gift for another birthday girl and take one home too!
HAPPY UNBIRTHDAY to us!!!!!
