Walking the Red Carpet

The night before the Oscars, Dave and I had the chance to walk the red carpet...

This was for the formal dinner/auction fundraiser for Drew's school.  The theme was an Evening of Lights.  It was really cool how they literally had the red carpet and the Oscar statues.  There was even a "reporter" asking all the ladies who they were wearing to then be given a glass of champagne.
 

We found our seats and grabbed a few drinks before dinner - which was steak and salmon.  After dinner they brought out a casino and I played craps the rest of the night for a chance to win raffle tickets.

We came home with a raffle prize win of a Magnum of red wine and two bottles of port.  Then we won a silent auction item for tickets to Beach Blanket Babylon.  We can't wait to head out to San Francisco to enjoy that one.

We had a great night.  That was the first night I finally felt better (after more than a month of being sick).  Of course that all caught up to me the next day - and no I wasn't hung over.  I didn't drink that  month.  I wasn't used to stay up that late.

Dave and I are looking forward to doing this again at Drew's next school - he only went to this school for TK and he'll move to our neighborhood school for Kindergarten.
