Dessert Extravaganza Valentine's Day 2009







Even though we 've been married awhile doesn't mean we know what the other's going to say!! We sure had fun playing the game and came in 2nd in the OldyWed Game out of 3 couples. The winners were only married 5 years. Some of the questions which were asked were, "what is my favorite scent?, where was our first date?, where were we when we first kissed, how many kids did I want when we were first married?, If Bernie were a car what would he be? This first picture say it all when we got a right answer.

The desserts were created in the kitchen of the church under the direction of a friend Roberta. She put together a team of 4 ladies and her talented husband to make 8 delicious creations from Key Lime pie to cherry and blueberry cheesecake, to home-made carrot cake and of course, chocolate covered strawberries!! We had so much fun in the kitchen and she taught me many useful tricks.

The Dessert Extravaganza was put on by the High School Youth Group to raise money for the Mexico Mission trip in June. They put on a great evening complete with a video, skit, game, and a clip from the Fireproof movie. There were many door prizes
donated from Eagle River businesses.

The picture of the Anthurium is a gift from Bernie. The cool thing about it is it is growing from a volcanic rock. This flower is pretty exotic grown in tropical areas. I sure hope it thrives and I don't kill it!!

And those desserts look scrumptious.

I wonder what your question was with that face Mom!You look very youthful though.

I would have loved to have seen you playing that game too! We played one similar with our Servant Leader Team last week and Jay and I only got 2 out of 6 questions right! It was fun! You look like you had a great time!
