A night of Superhero fun!

Herzogs & Lofstedts
There's no way around hiding this baby bump anymore
1st grade mama's, these women are wOnDeRfUl!

Wonder woman & Robin(ps~that is all my hair, no bumpit!)
Shane's parents, The Daley's, Herzogs, & Lofstedts
Auction Chairs
Mr. Banks our principal dressed as Mr. Incredible.  He's such an awesome principal!

St. Thomas More had their 32nd Annual Italian Dinner & Auction.  This year's theme was Superhero, which made it really comical/fun!  You can see it in my "high" hair, makeup, and robin costume.  I had a blast getting dressed up for it.  Shane was just fine with a spiderman t shirt. 

It just so happened that this year most of the auction chairs were 1st grade mama's.  I was on the decorating committee and got to help with centerpieces for the tables, and helped decorate for the auction festivities.  It was a great way for me to get to know more STM families.  The Italian dinner was nothing other than DeLiCiOuS!  Homemade meatballs(okay, I didn't actually eat those,) yummy penne pasta with homemade marinara, salad with homemade Italian dressing, rolls, dessert, drinks.  I helped myself to several plates ;)  I love food so much right now!

There was a silent and live auction.  I learned quite a few things about the silent and live auction and will feel more prepared next year.  All in all, it was a fun filled night spent with family & friends.  I couldn't ask for a better community, school, principal, and the fellowship that has followed.  I feel so blessed that our kids can be a part of STM.  *My favorite elementary years were spent there as a child.  I'm looking forward to next years Italian dinner & auction(and am curious what theme will be next?)
