Special Agents

Friday night we were called on a special mission.



My parents' church was having a fund raiser for their campus ministry and the theme was Casino Royale.

My sister and her husband joined us on this mission.

Dinner was very nice (chicken with creamy potatoes and broccolini) as was dessert (chocolate mousse and a  chocolate cake with a cheesecake center!!!).  After dinner there was an auction. That was interesting. There was really only 1 item I was interested in - this oil painting - but they started the bidding at 10x what I was willing to part with...



I told Scott that we might have to uncork the bottle of the wine we pulled at the Wine Pull station (you paid $15 to pull a bottle of wine which may be worth $15 or maybe $50) and try to create a version of the lovely painting.

Trying to appear elegant....

 
As you can see, we did take advantage of the open air photo booth....What a fun idea. I wish we'd been more creative like striking more James Bond type poses....

We "gambled" a little at the Black Jack table but to be honest, I was more into these "cards". We brought some of these home for the kiddos.  Aren't they adorable?

Sugar cookie martinis and playing cards...
