This Saturday morning we went to a Breakfast with Santa as part of a Festival of Trees fundraiser for the United Way. The big party and live auction was a week or so ago and Grady kept Delia and let me get dressed up and go to the fancy pants event. It was really fun with great wine and food (BBQ duck quesadilla anyone?), and the Breakfast with Santa was one of the events that took place in the week that followed.
Different businesses decorated trees and put merchandise (or signed MSU jerseys or hunting trips) under the trees to be auctioned off. All of the trees were beautiful and some went for over $2,000 at the auction!
This is the Mississippi State baseball tree. There was also a basketball tree and a football tree (4 tickets to the Egg Bowl under the latter).
Local schools donated gingerbread houses for the auction and I brought home two because they were made by little kids, no one had bid on them yet, and they were super cheap. These are not them, but I will have some pictures of them soon. We know most of the organizers of the festival and we heard that there was a mouse problem in the building this week. I can just see all those mice partying in the Gingerbread Village! Woo hoo! Candy Land! We have checked our houses for nibble marks, but haven't found any yet...
We saw lots of friends there, including Joseph and Kate,
and Will and Brandy!
"Hey Will, our complexions are so different, it looks like I'm on Team Edward and you're on Team Jacob!"
"Here's how you pose for the camera Will: CHEESE!"
Another pose!
"I don't know about you old man..."
Nice job Will! Delia would not get within a 20-foot radius of Santa. Oh well.
She had much more fun getting tickled by Daddy.
And playing with the holiday props and eating bagels.
Christmas angel.
Christmas card photo op!
