CARTI Festival of Trees

This past week was full of fun evenings out on the town helping to raise money for CARTI Cancer Center.  It started on Thursday evening with Ava Jane and Adam going to the Sugar Plum Ball, a daddy daughter event that she has been looking forward to for months!  I went and got two dresses for her to pick from and she chose this cute little number and specifically requested "sparkly shoes".  She was thrilled to spend the evening with Adam and her friends.

This little girl of ours was so excited to be with her daddy.  She couldn't wait to get upstairs and get the party started!

These brothers huddled up and stuck together while all the daddy's and daughters filled the Statehouse Convention Center and pictures were being taken.  A couple of us momma's decided to walk to the Flying Fish for dinner with our boys, it was a fun evening for all of us.  (The laughs and smiles in this picture make me smile so much!)

The second, of the three night event, was Festival of Fashion which is a New York style fashion show and was very well attended, the theme this year was  Ode to Vogue and was very entertaining to watch!!  I sure had fun with these ladies and enjoyed the evening together.   From the hor'derves to the swag bags, the dancers to the models, everything was lovely and certainly entertainment for a cause.

Then Saturday evening culminated with a gorgeous soiree, Tux n Trees.  It was a wonderful evening of remembering the past 42 years and looking forward to the future of what's to come.  It was fun to see so many familiar faces and getting to hug the necks of friends I hadn't seen in a while.  Having both mine and Adam's family joining us on this wonderful evening was a real treat.

With Dizzy's playing all kinds of great hits, we enjoyed a rare evening of helping to raise money for a great cause, dancing and laughing.  To the ladies of the CARTI Foundation and the Auxillary volunteers who worked so very hard to put on a wonderful evening, thank you!  It was truly a fabulous event!
