A little late, but I am finally blogging about our 2nd annual Coolidge 2nd Ward Valentines Dinner. This was bitter sweet since this will be our last ward activity with Lois Pew as the committee leader! She has built a new home nearby, but outside our ward boundaries, and will be moving next month. We are so sad to see her leave! These past 2 years have been so fun together and our ward family has really grown closer, I feel partly because of the activities we have had. Here is a picture of Lois (middle), Lisa, and I.
The after dinner entertainment was a spirited version of 'The Newlywed Game', with our guest host, Bob Eubanks (a.k.a. Trent Woods). He does such a great job and is somewhat successful in keeping the dialogue "PG". Last year we had the whole bishopric as the contestants. This year we asked a few of the table host couples to participate. I thought it was a nice way to say "thank you" for all that they did. Not sure if they saw it that way or not!
We had so much fun last year that we decided to repeat our Valentines Dinner. 4 couples are assigned to each table, one couple being the host. They decorate their own table with their own place setting and theme and the other couples help prepare the various dishes of the meal. It is so fun to see the different styles and menus. This year there was lasagna, cornish game hens, pork loin, dutch oven chicken/potatoes, and chicken fettucini, to name a few!
Here is the table Chad and I sat. Poor Chad! For 2 years, I never get to spend much time with him at a ward activity. He is usually on his own or wrangling with the kids while I run around doing activity stuff. He is such a good sport!
Greg and Dee Dee Merrill were our newlywed game winners! They thought they were at a disadvantage because they were older than the rest of the contestants. Turns out they new eachother very well!
Josh and Amber Wilkins scored the worst as far as points go, but definitely scored the highest for entertainment! This couple is so charming and fun! Their faces were red most of the time!

Can you tell which table was set by my in-laws? Frank made dutch oven chicken and potatoes, his specialty! It turned out so cute!
