La Bella Nocce

Neil and I attended a fundraiser for Quinn's school. It was a black tie dinner and dance and live auction. It was such a fabulous evening. My parents spent the night and watched the boys so Neil and I got a night at a local hotel! We had never been away from the boys and neither of us slept LOL. He suprised me with a family ring!!!! I will post pictures of it when it's made, I have a loner ring right now until i call the jeweller with the stone order I want.



Onto some photos!

Here is Neil and I at the hotel before going, I had my hair straightened and coloured before hand.


I also stitched something and had it framed for the auction, it went for $60 so I was quite happy with that!


Here is Neil and I at the actual event. There were 2 ladies who painted the entire gym to make it look like you were on a street in Italy! It was awesome!!!

Oh and I was bidding on a few things, and I ended up being the winning bidder on this nativity scene wall hanging. It's sitting to the left of the photo here of the boys

You and Neil look so wonderful, Denise! Looks like it was a fun night. Congrats on such a wonderful bid for your stitched piece and I love the Nativity wall hanging that you won!

I enjoyed reading the rest of your posts and have you book-marked so I can keep up with you!
