Jason and Blanca held their Canadian wedding reception this weekend in Kerrobert Leigh and I were able to attend Sarah came too! She drove out with Ariana. Leigh was asked to MC with David. It was a pretty good size guest list. The decorations were beautiful. I did a toast to Jason and then Glenna and I sang them a song together. This is Glenna in yellow... It was a great weekend of seeing friends and family again - just a bit too short! (*sigh)
