Reception Numero Dos...

A week after Kasey’s wedding in Murrieta, the Stephens Family piled into Roger (the name we’ve affectionately given our 1996 forest green Ford Explorer) and headed to Chino Valley for Kasey’s reception in Arizona.

Fun Fact:
Chino Valley is the site of the first Territorial Capital of Arizona, the city sits at an elevation of 4,750 feet and local wells provide most of the drinking water.

The reception was hosted by Jace’s parents, Wick and Linda, in their back yard. The decorations were beautiful and the food included many different types of salsa - Wick’s salsa, in particular, was delicious.

There was fun, dancing and we got to watch Kasey open some of her presents. (Note: They got TWO toasters. Because you can never have too many toasters.)







“I went to Kasey’s reception at somebody else’s house. There were a lot of frogs and crickets there that I picked up. It was cool.”








"We had lots of fun and Jillian kept frogs. I washed my hands after I touched them (Jillian didn't, even after I told her to). I met new people and they were very nice."
