Tonight Grandma and Pop Pop babysat the kids so we could go to the KMS Auction. This is the yearly fundraising event held by the kids' preschool. We were pretty excited to get dressed up and go out together!
The event was held at the VFW post in our town, which was a very nice venue. We hit the cash bar as soon as we arrived.
There were lots of great donated items ready to be auctioned off.
We stopped by the Teachers' Table to chat--that's Emily's teacher Julie on the left, Kate's teachers Mary Lou and Tabitha in the middle, and our friend Hilary (also a teacher at the school) on the right.
We were quite surprised to see Emily's assistant teacher Maureen belting out some tunes with the live band. We had no idea she was a singer!
Chris really enjoyed the hors d'oeuvres.
Once the auction actually started we all got real serious....
...except for our friend Amy, who had volunteered to be "Vanna White" for the evening, and had to hold up each item that was being auctioned.
We sat with our friends Tina and John, who bid on and won these lovely handmade wooden ducks (notice that John is so pleased about his duck that he's actually petting it). 
It was real nice to spend time with our friends without all of our kids around.
In the end, we bid on a few things (and were successful on a couple), and the auction raised more money for the school than last year's event. It was definitely a success!
