View the lyrics and hear the 2007 Mayoff Day songs: Sixteen Songs
This year’s theme was inspired by the exotic tree in front of Bernie and Denise’s house that produced this exceptional “fruit” for the first time this year.
Grandson Rich Navarrete examines the “fruit”
This may be the only M&M tree in the world. But at Mayoff homes they’ve always known what the M’s stood for.
Closeup of the fruit
Denise builds a croquembouche . . .
. . . and builds . . .
. . . and builds . . .
. . . and finally places the 103rd cream puff to top off the tree.
Chocolate is inventoried
Guests are guided to the Mayoff Day tree and celebration by a phalanx of tiki torches. .
and are greeted by a table flowing with chocolate.
and are greeted by a table flowing with chocolate.
Chocolate pasta with raspberry sauce and whipped cream
Traditional Mayoff Day cookies, along with chocolate candy, chocolate cereal, and you may recognize some of the fruit of the Mayoff Day tree.
Cheese, veggies, cocktail hotdogs and more provide an alternative to those that become overwhelmed by chocolate. Beth and Bryan Shepherd make sure they look perfect.
