Burn's Dinner 2013

In the middle of January we headed north for Matt and Rachel's Annual Burns' Dinner. Last year the kids were VERY impressed with Matt's "talking to the sausage," so they were READY!

We took some quick family pictures before dinner, since we all looked nice. And Daddy was all kilt-y.



Okay, they weren't fantastic. And we had even bribed the kids with Thin Mints.

Then it was off to dinner!



(The fossil book came along...)

The lovely and talented Rachel, our hostess.


And Matt, our host.


Daddy did the traditional blessing.


Then it was bagpipes and haggis!







Some toasts were made and then DINNER!




C&G and one other 4 year old girl, Ryanne, were the only little kids there, but they had a good old time playing chase and reading the fossil book. Poor Colin. He kept trying to get the girls interested in his book. They'd look for a minute, then run away.

He must have done something right though, I hear Ryanne was asking her mom for a fossil book the next day! That's my boy.

After dinner, we had some music and some poetry.





Good time for all! Thanks Matt and Rachel!
