Superbowl Party!

Last Sunday, the Stark's hosted the annual Superbowl party. We had a few door prizes, but the grand prizes (a one year subscription to a magazine of their choice) went to Dustin and Tessa for being the guy and gal to predict the final score of the game. Somehow every year Dustin or Jenna goes away with the grand prize. Hmmmm...

Below are some pictures from the night.
