Honored...


















We were honored to be asked to be the "Host Family" of this year's Hearts and Diamonds Gala for the Ronald McDonald House in Rochester.  This is a very fancy evening with tickets at $250 each.  They give away diamond jewelry for raffles, and sell out every year very quickly.  This generally brings in $75,000 each year for the house.  On Feb. 5th we will be "hosting"... greeting everyone as they come in.  The girls are very excited because they got to get new fancy dresses, and yes that included Reese's doll!! {Ryan's not so excited because he has to get a tux!}  I am sure I will have lots of pictures to post after the fun weekend!!

PS... Shhhhhhhh, the girls don't know but a limo will be picking us up from the hotel to take us!  They will be very excited!

That is FABULOUS! But really----I don't think there would have been a better choice than your family!! I can just see Reese smiling the whole time! How fun to get all dressed up and a limo---the girls will love it! Can I come and be the photographer?! HA!!! Can't wait to see your pics!

You will never know how proud I am of you, Candi, and your family. A lot of people would have just given up with all that you went through last year but instead, you found a way to give back and now it's your turn to dress up, smile, and just enjoy a wonderful evening. Ryan doesn't know it yet but he'll be with three of the prettiest ladies ever and those buttons on that tux will be bursting with pride. Reese looks like a lovely young lady in her dress!
