Mardi Gras in August

After 25 days on traveling.....and surviving Bourbon Street....Melanie brought Mardi Gras to Bunco! So fun to see everyone and catch up on our summers!!!

May and June

In May, we were at Barrie's for CASINO NIGHT!
A lot of fun was had by all, and the jello shots were a hit!!!!

June took us to Tami's where we enjoyed a wonderful
PICNIC theme. . . BBQ chicken, potato salad, watermelon, and chocolate chip cookies. Everyone went away with a picnic themed prize.

Thanks, girls . . . we had a great time, and now
WELCOME SUMMER!!!!

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!
