We hosted a toned down version of our shuffleboard tournament this year. And by toned down I mean no kids, fewer teams, lots of food, more cupcakes, more trash talking and probably a bit more trouble. When the kids are away, the parents will definitely play! And by parents I mean me...and by play I mean I lose my mind and act crazy!!
My mom took our girls to see Wizard of Oz live so they were thrilled while B and I prepared to destroy our friends at shuffleboard. Let's be honest here, I carried our team. I was on fire. The tournament was mine to win. And then B started throwing. It was not his night and he took our team down. I'm not bitter or anything....but I am excepting applications for a new teammate next year.
It really was a fabulously fun night and thanks to all our friends who had to get sitters (and for those who didn't) and came out to play! And a big Congrats to Lance and Sheila, this year's winners. My name WILL be on that trophy next year.
I may have gone a bit overboard with the cupcakes. I just really like making them....and then forcing everyone to eat them. This year we had strawberry covered chocolate with milk chocolate frosting, vanilla with vanilla bean frosting, and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting with walnuts:
Chef B made all the snacks which was basically a world tour of dips - olive tapenade, hummus, bruschetta, pesto, seven layer dip, French onion dip, tangy ranch dip. So flippin' delicious!!
These are my favorites. Besides losing the tournament for me, he's a good man to have around.
Congrats to the winners!
Reigning champ not so happy!
Amy, Sheila, and Misti
Good time with the gals

Great night! Thanks everyone for coming out.
Sorry to hear about Shake-N-Bake ... next year, you need to channel some Cheesesteak rage. For the win.
