BUNCO

A few months ago, some of the women in the ward/neighborhood organized a Bunco group, and I was invited to be a part of it. So this month it was my turn to host it at my house. I have been having nightmares for the last month where it would be time for Bunco, and I was missing various things. So this week I have been making sure I have all my "I's dotted and T's crossed" so my nightmare's didn't come true. I think everything turned out pretty good. I had one of the worst games of my life, but it still a lot of fun to have a girls night.
The score card-I don't know of you can see, but there are spider webs in the 4 corners, a spider, and scary writing. The place settings-Each person got a set of funky teeth and a pumpkin or pirate skull sucker, as well as skull coasters for our drinks.
The dessert-it was a spice cake with cream cheese frosting. The frosting was SO soft, so I had slight issues with it staying where I wanted it to. I ended up doing the final touches with it in my fridge to try to keep the frosting colder. It wasn't exactly what I had envisioned, but it tasted yummy, and I guess that was the most important thing.

Our group of ladies.
We were missing the 2 Kat's, but Tina and SuZet subbed for them.

I forgot to get a picture of the prizes, but it was all things chocolate. 1st place was a fondue set, 2nd place was a gift certificate to The Sweet Tooth Fairy, Most Buncos was a Hershey's all chocolate cookbook, Travel was a small fondue pot, and we had 2 door prizes of hot chocolate and mugs. I also decided to do a booby prize for the person that scored the lowest amount of points. While I had a horrible game, I ended up with 2nd to last, instead of dead last. Charlotte ended up with the lowest score, but she scored this awesome Halloween sweater vest from my mom's closet. j/k...it was from DI. But I swear that my mom used to have one or five just like it. Charlotte was a good sport and modeled it for us.

Thanks girls...it was a fun, much needed girls night!

I have played bunco once in my life...I think I was maybe 15 and just sat and rang the bell to be annoying (I am thinking of the right game,right?). Sounds like you all had a good time.
We need to get together for lunch or something cousin. Miss you!
