Burns Night

Saturday night was Burns Night. The Scottish contingent at the girls school holds a Burns night supper every year. For those of you not familiar with Robert Burns you can read about him HERE. We went last year and had such a great time. I have been looking forward to this since we walked out the door last year. Last year I had no idea what we were getting into and I wore a strapless dress. A strapless dress is not ideal for the vigorous Scottish dancing so this year I bought a halter dress and low heeled shoes. I also told our babysitter to not expect us until close to 3am since last year we didn't realize how late it would go and had to leave early. I was ready to go! This year the dinner was in a new location which was newly renovated and beautiful. As you arrived the bagpipes started to play which sounded lovely. It was so nice to have a night out with friends in such a fun atmosphere. It is fun to see all our Scottish friends in their kilts and all the ladies dressed up. We won the raffle again this year for a bottle of whiskey which I have put on the shelf behind the one we won last year. It was a lot of fun (even though I did have one klutzy moment) and I'm looking forward to having fun again next year on Burns Night! Here are a few pictures from the night.
