fun filled evening

last night we were lucky enough to be able to attend a fundraiser held by noah's never ending rainbow. they held a casino night at a country club in our neighborhood and everyone seemed to have an excellent time. there were two singers that were both amazing, great food & drink, and of course the wonderful families. there were 4 trisomy children in attendence (akaiya included) and one of the families travelled all the way from utah! it was the first time they had ever met another trisomy family in person. how exciting! dana and her family always have fantastic events and we can't wait for the next one!
akaiya initially wanted to wear a showgirl outfit in keeping with the las vegas theme. i had to convince her to tone it down, so she went with an understated gold dress and looked very classy. she enjoyed all of the attention given to her and managed to keep her little self awake until 1:00 am when we got home! she is definitely a party girl...
