September 2009 Bunko

September marks the end of our 3rd year of bunko and the start of our 4th year! Me and my sister-in-law Jamie decided to start a bunko group all those years ago, but we were going to do it OUR way! We start at 845 at night, that way the kiddies are all in bed so the hubbies have less reason to complain! :0) We don't do dinner, that is just too much stress for us! So we decided to do a dessert, so simple, easy and delicious!!! This isn't our original bunko group, we have had coming and goings, but I think this is my FAVORITE bunko group ( minus my sister april!) And I think this is the group that is going to stay. What a GREAT group of woman, I could not ask for better friends, for we have all become great friends through bunko! They are the best girls you will ever meet.

September bunko was at my house, for dessert I decided to do a lemon poppyseed bundt cake, soooo yummy!! One requirement we have is to always have caffeine available, sometimes it gets a little hard staying up til midnight(which is about when bunko gets over with) without a few doses of caffeine!

We like to sit around and talk and eat for at least a half hour before we start playing!!

Our two subs this month: Laura and kelsey, both the best!!

Our group for september! TOP: camie, me, corey, andrea, laura, kelsey and kylie. BOTTOM: Brinda, janalee, robyn and jamie!

Here we are getting ready to play!!

I always like to do a theme with my prizes and this month I decided to go with cooking. Finding the prizes is always half the fun, and seeing who wins them is the other half! I loved all of them!

Here is our Bunko winner Kelsey! Her prize ( i thought) was FABULOUS!! She won a serving platter, a serving bowl, another serving bowl made out of fabric ( by my awesome mom) and a matching apron( also made by my very talented mother.) We always love when kelsey comes and subs for us!

Kylie was a little overcome with emotion at winning the High Score prize! :0) a set of three mixing bowls and a freakin cute pink and black apron!

This is our sub who wanted to remain anonomous: but she won the low prize, a cute set of three mixing bowls and some other fun cooking gadgets.

Cute, prego Janalee won the medium prize: a rod iron cook book holder, my ward cookbook, towels, washcloths and oven mitts!
Laura, whose this was the first time she subbed for us,won the hostess prize which was my favorite! A cookbook called the seduction cookbook(cant wait to hear all about it) and a $5 gift certificate to victoria secret!!
Camie won most 5's: a tile with my favorite saying about chocolate and a sayings book on chocolate.
Corey won the most 0's: a rod iron cookbook holder and my ward cook book!
Robyn got the bonus prize: a 9 piece decorating cake kit! I expect to see some decorating robyn!
Here are my $5 prizes: sucker molds and melting chocolate! A fun something to do with your kids!
I think we all hate to see bunko coming to an end every month, knowing it will be a month before we play again! that is why i called this blog, bunkogirlsforlife, because I KNOW we will all be bunko lifers, playing until we die!!

Thanks for a great night of bunko, see you in october!!
