A Wedding Reception

Posted 02/21/2018

We spent the morning with everyone here at the house, finishing up all the prep work for the Reception, then took everything over to the neighborhood Clubhouse to set up. There was still a lot of snow on the ground and on the road; in fact, when we arrived at the Clubhouse, the sidewalks weren't cleaned up yet so we had to do a bit of shoveling before it was safe for all the guests to arrive!

With lots of help from family (the Greens, the Meyers, the Whiteads) and friends (the Sabris), we managed to get everything ready in plenty of time, and then it was just a matter of waiting for all the honored guests to arrive.

And arrive they did! Friends from school, friends from church, friends from the neighborhood ... all here to bring wishes of health and happiness to the young couple.

Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. Lots of chatting with James and Tabea, lots of chatting amongst all the attendees, lots of good food to snack on, and lots of comfortable furniture to hang out on.

After the party was over and everyone pitched in to help clean up, we all headed back over to the house for an awesome lasagna dinner. And then Mahlon connected his laptop to the big screen TV and we were able to watch some football!

So we all sat around watching football and waiting for Deb to arrive (she had been working).

And then (unfortunately) it was time for everyone to leave.
