8th Grade Banquet-A Red Carpet Affair

Reed and his beautiful date Anna Catherine.

So grown up!

Great group of friends!

Reed, Anna Catherine, Brooke and Barrett

So great being able to watch these boys grow into great young men.

What a great looking couple!

Last night was Reed's 8th grade banquet.  It was such a fun night.  It all began with pictures with all of his friends, most of which he has been friends with since kindergarten or earlier.  We are so blessed that Reed not only has a great circle of friends but that we have made so many good friends in their parents.   After pictures, we went to the banquet where they had a red carpet ready for all of the kids to walk in and take pictures.  The cafeteria looked so great....not even like a cafeteria.  The PTO did such a great job.  It was a great night....wonderful dinner, awards, and then the kids headed to the dance in the gym.  It was a great but emotional night.  Looking at all of these kids, how grown up they are....still picturing them on the little league field or in kindergarten.  Time has gone by so quickly, but we have soooo many wonderful memories.   And, now we ready ourselves for high school (sigh!).
