Carnival Auction

Another part of the fundraising at the Spring Carnival was a live auction for Classroom Baskets.  Each grade picked a theme and parents sent in items to be included in the basket that matched that theme.  In the middle of the carnival, one of the local auctioneers auctioned off the baskets. 

I had helped put the baskets together so I knew what was inside, but Kevin and Camden scoped them out that night.  Camden had her eye on the 5th grade basket - Disney!

Kevin and I agreed on our limit and Kevin joined in the auction.  We won it...and for $20 less than our limit!  As you can imagine, Camden squealed and jumped!

She also stayed up late to wait for me to get home so she could dig in the basket and discover all her new Disney stuff.

There were several movies (none of which we had), lots of puzzles, a few games, a lithograph (with certificate of authenticity), the premier planning guide book for 2015 (will come in handy for our DisneyWorld vacation in October), a $30 Disney gift card, and many many more trinkets.  Including a new waffle iron, so we decided that Olaf waffles were on the menu for Sunday.
