The food was tasty and the atmosphere was posh... I mean I was wearing my Lucille Ball Dress for goodness sake!!
Clockwise from top left:Up-scale cheese and cracker plate... I ate 3!
The appetizers... don't eat the stick in the gazpacho thinking it's celery... it's a stick!
Jen Johnson from the Blah Blah Blahger (an awesome blogger who I've known since birth... really). That bite is ALL she ate as she is in a biggest loser contest and the prize is $400!!
Dessert was delish. I lost count of how many I ate... I'm NOT in a biggest loser contest :)
The gourmet burgers were awesome! Though I was talked out of sneaking the cute little skillet into my purse. And I had planned to make itty bitty omelets!
This is a horrible shot... but it's all I got! Our host, Marcy, was the MC and she was just lovely. Carlos is the Hilton's food rep and besides being just a bit to excited about the new martini salad shakers, (which incidentally remind me a bit of the old McDonald's salad shakers... which I LOVED) he was the most gracious host... really! Anyone who steps into his restaurant is in the most capable hands and will get the best service.
To cap off the night I won a Peace and Mom Kit from Peace Love and Momminess! (Who happened to host an Eli's Lids giveaway not too long ago!!)

How cute! Looks like you had a fabulous time!
How FUN!!!! What a cool event:)
You looked beautiful AND your dress was perfect. It was a fun night...and yeah, seriously, what was up with that monkey?
This is a great post and re-cap!
1. your dress AND YOU are adorable.
2. I also wanted to steal a Hilton mini skillet. Instead I asked Carlos for one. He said 'he would see what he could do' and then disappeared. I may have scared him with my love of small pans.
3. And the dang MONKEY and MONSTER behind me? Like it even mattered what I was wearing! No one was looking at ME. HA!
THANK YOU for coming and next time I hope to get a chance to hang with you more!
