Bunco Night!

Sunday, January 31st, was Bunco Night! Our lovely Katie hosted the event, held at Saltwater Church in the Welcoming Room. Bunco is a dice game that takes no skill or strategy (though some would argue that their dice-rolling technique puts them above the pack). We all put some cash into the pot, and the winners received cash prizes. Here are some pics from the evening...

Vanessa rings the bell to announce
"Let the Games Begin!"

And we're off!

We took an intermission to dig into our potluck feast of chili, meatballs, lil smokies, pretzels with dip, brownies, "evil" peanut butter fudge bars, "saintly" berry bran muffins, and various sparkling ciders.

Here's Katie on top of the world with the first Bunco of the night (3 threes), modeling the official Bunco Sombrero

...and then her sad and dramatic low as she rolled "snake eyes," completely eliminating her team's points for that round.

Here are our other Bunco Beauties...

Yummy hot apple cider, with or without rum or red wine (Eowyn told us about that combination and it was much better than you might think!)

Reminiscent of his portrayal of Billy Mays for Halloween, here's Matt promoting the always awesome Almond Roca...

Boo-yah, Sunshine stole the magic eight ball and big bag of yellow balloons
(too bad, so sad, Justin P.)...
