Andrew (Black Knight) recited and signed "The Selkirk Grace"

Time to eat!

My girl finally gets to recite "To a Mouse" she did great and we were so proud of her!

The Monkey's daughter sang a wonderful rendition of "Sentimental Journey"

Kathy, Tom , and Alison (ClanMills wife). Kathy would lead us in Scottish Country Dancing later in the evening

The head table watching Tom present a very silly limrick

Elise (Mrs Farlander) welcomed everyone to "Camp Robert Burns" for an unusual and fun Immortal Memory (She is a State Park Intrepreter by profession)

Can't have a campfire program without a campfire...

It was a great presentation

Brooke (MacMillian's Son) the Lovely Connie and my wee girl

More to come!

Formal skunk pelt headgear? That's just the way the Nor Cal Rabble of XMTS roll.

It was that sort of a Burns Night Supper, full of silliness, fun, laughter, joy, and a great appreciation for the life and works of Robert Burns.

Cheers

Wonderful photos and videos, thanks for sharing! It appeared to be quite an evening and a proper celebration of Scotland's National Poet, well done!

Slainte mhath,

P.S. - Tell that bloke to take off his Balmoral bonnet when indoors. Haha, just kidding. Wear it where ya like, what do I care?! Cheers.

I see Gwens Dutch MacKay vest!... How did I not spot that in the other pics? Sheesh.

Everybody looks grand, I was *Bummed* to miss it.

"Formal skunk pelt headgear?"

Sort of a country barrister look.

Really wonderful presentation. Thanks for all this.

That looks like a wonderful event! Everyone looks like they're really having a good time. I can't believe how the "kids" have grown; have I been on XMTS that long? Jamie, it's neat to have your dad out at the event, and your goddess would look beautiful in a potato sack! Nice to see all the X-markers, guests and spouses looking so fine. Thanks for showing us your night!
