Fun Night with a "Bunch of Birds"

We love our friends Tim and Debbie Bird!They called and invited us to a Charity Event and Dinner at the Children's Museum here in Omaha! Tim is on the Children's Museum board and sponsored a table to this fun event. It started with a cocktail hour (get people sauced so they will spend a lot of money) and then held a silent auction...I had a great time bidding on several items...including a Diamond Necklace from Borshiems! Sad to say, and much to Bruce's relief, I didn't get it! Okay I will admit it I was one of the first people on the long list bidding for the necklace. After I slipped my name on it once Bruce wouldn't let me near it again! It was fun for the few minutes I thought I would win! I did end up with a fun activity for my kids a Party at Doodle Cakes. They learn to decorate cakes and take home their own minature masterpiece! I got it for a steal! Yeah!


After the cocktail hour and silent auction, dinner was held in a beautiful tent that was decorated with the "On the Cape" theme. The food was delicious and free...thanks Tim!
At the end we had a visit from some storm troopers!
It was a great date! The kids loved going to Debbie's house to be baby sat by her Nanny! We owe you one Birds!

I love your dress and this looked fun. I too, recently went to one and the only thing I could afford to bid on was a designer binkie for Miles! (I don't think Maeve uses it because it has USU and footballs on it.
