Super Party

Last night we attended an awesome Student Ministries party to eat good food and watch the Beyonce concert on TV. Oh yeah, I think there was some football game on too. Whatever. Back to the concert... Beyonce was amazing. And it was fun to see the Destiny's Child reunion. Definitely the best half time performance I've seen in a long time. On to the food....

I made this wicked deliciousness. It was called Ultimate Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownie Delight, made from a layer of cookie dough, topped with Oreos, topped with brownie mix. And it was completely calorie free! JK on that one, but it was good. All I had to do was combine and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. This was actually one of the first things I ever pinned on Pinterest and I had been waiting for an occasion to bake it when I knew most of it would be eaten so I wouldn't be left with all that chocolate temptation for myself. There was only 1 piece leftover. Success!

 I did not make this cake but it was cute and available for those more interested in watching that football game instead of Beyonce. In regards to the Super Bowl I was originally rooting for the 49ers because our pastor and his family really like them. I figured, why not? Then Ryan told me that Michael Oher, the man that the movie Blind Side is based off of, plays for the Ravens so I switched my vote. I really like that movie and thought that it would be an awesome end for that story for him to start off homeless and end up winning the Super Bowl. I'm sure Sandra Bullock was voting for the Ravens as well. In the end, I think we can all agree that I made the right choice.

Finally, the real stars of the night! We had 40 youth kids hanging out to watch the game. When Ryan and I launched the youth group at our former church we did it with a Super Bowl party so this is an annual tradition for us. Secret's out - I don't really care that much about football. But I do absolutely care about these students!

We were squeezed in every corner of this media room so it made for a difficult photo op. That's okay. It was lots of kids. Lots of food. Lots of fun.

Look at that star Youth Director! You might say he's the quarter back of Bara Student Ministries...in which case, I am totally his blind side.
