The Hector family was in charge of the meal for the evening, but we never could have done it without the help of ready and willing volunteers. Looks like they are having a grand time with the green beans.
Head Chef Mom (a.k.a. Jean) works on frying up some cubed cow. Great job Mom!
One person we would especially like to thank is Angela... She went above and beyond, and was a huge help. Thanks Angela!!
Potato dumplings were on the menu. So were messy hands.
Jonathan arranging the finished product. See how clean and organized those counters look? That would change by the end of the night.
Another helper that went above and beyond. Thanks Ryn!!!
So is Rachel anticipating the food or the festivities?
Jennifer is certainly excited!
Before dinner, everyone gathered on the green-grassy-knoll.... actually it was more like a green-grassy-flat-spot.... for some Reformation games.
Brian was ready to help keep track of the winners.
A favorite from last year, so we had to bring it back, was "Hit The Person Off The Railroad Tie With A Pillow".
Is Paige admitting defeat??
Two reformers and a pair of authentic Reformation Glasses.
After the games, dinner was to be served. Bread is always the highlight of any meal.
Yes, even bread served by royalty.
Or Court-Jesters.
The reformers and glasses add a fourth member.
Four damsels guarded by two fearless crusaders in the background.
A lady and a cross worth fighting for.
Sir Nick of the Poofy Black Shirt clan!!
Two ladies, a cross and a pair of shades worth fighting for.
With dinner concluded, the tables were put away and dancing ensued. Eva and Sara love dancing.
Eva LOVES dancing.
Matthew apparently loves to sing.
How can you dance the Virginia Reel before there was a Virginia?
Last but not least, the cleanup.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the night!! We couldn't have done it without you!! Please join us again next year for an awesome afternoon of food, fellowship and fun!

Oh, what a happy bunch of people! It was so fun to see people I've actually met!
Awwww, doesn't Mrs. H. look so cute in that apron?! She really ought o have a lovely gown fit for the head chef. :) You're amazing, m'dear!!
I'm assuming that Jonathan is working on dessert...but what is it?
I love the picture of the bread servers! And the two of Rachel and Linds...too cute! Nice shades, Rachel...they look just spiffy with your lovely dress. :)
Well...we did the Virginia Reel, so of course you can! :) I'm sure it was based on an older dance...besides, have you ever tried learning Renaissance dances? They're um....interesting...
How fun! I'd give you a 100%, A+ on this post, Sir Thomas de Flannel (nice 80's shirt, BTW :)), but there is one picture is missing...
Wish I could've attended! See y'all soon!!
Great Job Sir Thomas de Flannel! You did a good job wrapping it up, except for one thing: I'm not in any pictures! Just kidding.
Tiffany:
Jonathon is cooking up potato dumplings to go into some soup with beer in it. All very good! The kitchen crew did a splendid job this year!
Casey
Fun times, fun tim....Wait! What am I saying? Hectic times, hectic times. Actually, it was a great party, as only CVP knows how to throw!
Sorry, Tiff, no one seemed to be able to get a picture of me!!! Oh, well, not a huge loss to humanity, I must say.
Thanks for the write up, oh brother of mine. Now, I need to get to bed, because I am leaving for Illinois in about 5 hours!!!!
BFH
Wow, a picture of me! That is rare when we are working in the kitchen! Thanks guys.
The kitchen crew was not on the grassy, flat knoll, nor anywhere else - just the kitchen.
Hey Case, how did you know about the beer?!
I agree Tiff, there are a few people missing from these shots. The head honcho for one.
Nice blog post boys.
Love, Mom
Looks like a grand time was had by all. You know, if you all start doing Civil War reenacting, we dance the Virginia Reel quite often! :o)
Mrs. Reynolds :o)
Lol, we enjoyed the pictures and the captions. :-)
Looks like you guys had lots of fun, even doing the prep and the clean up. :-)
It looks like so much fun! I wish we could have been there. You look so pretty Mrs. Hector. Hope we can see you guys soon. :)
