more birthdays!

Friday night we got together with some friends from our community group and a few other local groups to have a fall party. There was also a pumpkin carving contest that Ben and I failed miserably at. I had an image in my head of an old man pumpkin, but it did not turn out close to what I was picturing.

Saturday was spent at my work's annual auction fundraiser. It's held at the downtown Hyatt in Seattle and Ben and I were in charge of the wine toss. (A ring toss around wine bottles- not throwing wine bottles like some people thought). It was a really fun night and we were successful in raising some money for our organization! It's also a fun excuse to dress up!

We celebrated Mark's birthday this past weekend which was the last birthday of the never ending birthday packed Fall. We ate a dinner filled with Mark favorites including home made onion rings, boneless buffalo bites, and a multi layer mint brownie for dessert. yum! For Mark's birthday, Ben is taking him to the bodies exhibit.. eek!!
