We recently had a great privilege to participate in a beautiful evening. Several people have asked me, “What is a Redding Formal?” Our son Gabriel hosted the first annual Redding Formal. This was an evening which was planned far in advance. Invitations were mailed, dresses shopped for, caterer hired, etc. It was a wonderful evening to celebrate being Redding. The music, the food (right down to the dessert), the program were all a reflection of things we were familiar with. It wasn’t a surprise to hear people break out in a song from some classic musical or to share crazy projects and adventures from the year. From building crazy amazing things like a floating house to finally summiting Mt. Rainier and a lot of travels from Paris, France, New Zealand, and Malawi, Africa and great plans for next year. It was a wonderful night of celebrating. Both grandmothers were able to attend as well as some out of town Aunts dressed fabulously I might add. Thank you Gabriel for an amazing evening!
