The Gala itself was completely lame. Too many speeches. Dinner was late. It was a pricey chaotic experience. We went into it with low expectations and brought snacks. It was fun to have a group event happening. The girls were happy to visit with friends they don't see often. It was fun to see Bev and Jenna from Victoria there. There were red envelopes and treats. Nicole made fabulous red bracelets for the kids and Kai's had a silver car bead on it, he was completely delighted. It felt like old times gathering all the young ones for a group photo. Traditions back again!
