We had a double holiday this year! Father's Day fell on June 21st, Reagan's birthday. We had Reagan's friend party on Friday to spread things out. She wanted a garden-themed party, so that's what we had!
The kids all got to paint pots and plant flowers in them.
And make fruit pizzas.
And play Pin the Bee on the Flower.
And have a watering can relay.
And spend lots of time playing on the trampoline and in the sandbox.
Overall, a smashing success. I survived 11 4&5 year olds by myself, but when everyone left I turned my back for 5 minutes and found the girls like this in the sandbox. Completely covered in wet sand.
After cleaning up, we had Reagan's requested birthday dinner of hot dogs.
Saturday we went swimming and then out to Outback to eat with Meagan and Grace.
Sunday morning, there was a big surprise waiting for this girl.
Best. Dad. Ever. And so nice of him to share his day!
Spend most of Sunday afternoon making pink birthday cake with chocolate frosting and lemon meringue pie from scratch. So yummy.
That evening, it was time for presents. Reagan got a new blanket and toys and Lance got tickets to the Stadium of Fire to see Journey!
And of course we had to test drive it. It's a little big, but hopefully she'll learn. And Daryn graduated to the balance bike.
Reagan is such an amazing kid. What a blessing she has been to us for 4 years! She loves to try new things and she is very brave. She is so smart and is learning to read. She likes to make new friends and try to control her sister. She's a bit of a wild child and struggles with impulse control. Once she has an idea in her head, it's impossible to dissuade her until she follows through with it. She loves being outside and gardening and looking at her books. She likes the strangest things like going to the doctor's office and the store and behaves very well. Speaking of which, at her 4 year appointment she was 30 lbs and 40 inches- almost exactly average in both. We're so grateful to have such a healthy, happy girl :)
