The big event

Yes, the big even this weekend was the blessing of Asher Ryan Reed - along with various festivities related to the celebration of the birth of our country. It was a whirlwind couple of days and I didn't accomplish half of what I had on my things-to-do list. We did have a great time, however! Most of Brianna's family turned out and almost all of ours.

First, a visit to the alligator park, a must-do for all Reed get-togethers featuring food (compliments of Ryan and Brianna,) lots of sun,

. . . the Reed boys. . . the cool cousins . . . and cute Devin, of course(among other awesome people)and even quite a few gators.
On the 4th we watched a parade in front of Bethy's, then went to the neighborhood carnival, featuring more food, LOTS more sun,
train rides, clowns, balloons, and even free icecream.
But the big event was the best day of all. The Reed family did a great job at the blessing, and then the party, featuring more food, fun, and
fashion!
the sparkle shirts . . .
. . . Brandon and Landon sporting twin outfits (sorry to take the photo of them eating, but they weren't cooperative for a posed shot - for obvious reasons)
and the beautiful family!

Sorry Jennifer and Brittany - I was going to call Jennifer, but didn't get to a computer to find her number, and I didn't get a chance to mail Brittany's keys. I'll do better next time!
