New Year's and Bunco

Fireworks







Phil and I went out on New Year's eve and had a wonderful time with friends in the ward. First we went to Mike and Peggy Messervy's for social time and some great hors' de vours (or as Phil would say, "some snacks!")

After the Messervey's, we went down to Jared and Sheila McLaughlin's for more "snacks," fireworks, and some football on the big screen. Here you will see some pictures of the fun! We did not get home until after midnight. The girls were at home with their friends and some "snacks" and called every once in a while to check on us. At one time Jessica asked what time we were going to get home! I found this very ironic!


Every year one of my closest friends, Philomena Jones throws a "Friends and Family Bunco" day on New Year's Day! It is awesome! we have sooo much fun! We eat some great food, hamburgers and hotdogs, homemade mac'n cheese, and we all bring a dessert! I took that wonderful banana pudding that we love so much! It was personally requested as the "Banana Fluffy Stuff" pictured here!
Afterwards, we have cocoa! Philomena is a mean cocoa maker!! We all put a few bucks in the pot and the winners are chosen at the end of the game! All the little kids play and we have a great time! We look forward to it every year! This was our 4th year to attend! As usual, the Trigg's won all the money! This is a running joke! What a great way to start a new year. We are truly blessed with great family and wonderful friends!
