Happiness is a Full House

The welcome mat was out for our young friends yesterday.

It made us happy to see them lining up for dinner in our kitchen.

Oops. Traffic jam! But they still managed to get the job done...

Chowing down is their specialty. ;)

(Along with finding the desserts...)

Some of them eat in the dining room.

Others opt for the living room (shift 1).

(Or shift 2.)

The family room is a popular venue as well.

The most popular venue of all, you ask?

Ummm, that would be the garage...

where ice cream sandwiches are consumed by the dozens.

And darts

are the order of the day evening.
(she beat him)

THANKS FOR COMING, EVERYONE!
We loved having you, as always.

    what, pray tell, is that chocolate-looking dessert with the red sauce??

    A garage with ice cream sandwiches and a dart board? that is the ultimate!

    The dessert was brought by one of the guests and is called chocolate panna cotta with raspberry puree.

    Mmmmm! Those deserts look incredible! It looks like it was a smashing success. Love your garage idea. My favorite though, the fire. It is freezing here today, so I am wishing for one. :)

    Your young people's gatherings always look like so much fun. I imagine your house being one where you walk in and you can just feel the love. :)

    Please tell me that the dart board is nowhere near the ice cream freezer. That could be deadly.

    What a great idea to make the garage available. Ha

    (And I agree with Anna too. We need that recipe!)

    I think it is wonderful that you guys put on such great parties for the young adults. They are so fortunate to have such a loving, caring Bishop who really gets totally involved with them, and of course a fun loving wife who goes along with the whole thing too.

    Looks like a ton of fun. But curious--how many people were there? All those rooms filled--there had to be a lot.

    Sue as always I love reading your post and seeing pictures of your gatherings. It brings back really warm memories of my childhood when we all did this.
    I think it is wonderful that you entertain the younger ones like you do. They need this now more than ever.
    Love ya

    Aren't singles wards a lot of fun? Full of tension, diversity, and at times drama...
