We got there early and took the above picture. You can view more pictures by clicking on the link at the bottom of this post. Reilee put together the table on the right. The board on the right hand side of the table contained pictures from the time she was born and was growing up and the board on the left contained more recent shots of high school (prom, sports, etc.). In the middle was a display of academic and sports achievements - really fantastic job. I didn't get a picture, but on the wall to the right were some of the outfits Reilee wore from the time she was a wee one, which Melinda had saved!
There was a buffet table set up along the left wall of the shop with enough food for an army. We lost track of exactly how many people were there (mostly because there was a lot of coming and going, but also because they kept moving around). It was fun seeing old friends, relatives, and also a lot of people who were part of Reilee's life. Some people couldn't make it because they were still seeding the fields - a couple of farmers came in toward the end and were celebrating the end of their seeding operation. Now all they were waiting for was a little rain to relieve the dryness. NOTE: They got their wish because it started raining slightly after midnight.
Reilee was very attentive to her guests and made sure that everyone was made to feel at home and welcomed them as they came in. She's a very attractive, young lady with a lot of poise and confidence. Rachel said this was a dry run for her party in two years :-). We all really had a good time, ate a lot, talked a lot, drank not a lot, and just generally had a fun evening.
Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoyed the party.
