There was a knock at the door on Friday the 24th and I heard McKenna say “Amanda?” when she answered. I was so surprised I had to see for myself and sure enough Amanda came down for the weekend (RJ knew and didn’t leak the secret). She came bearing birthday gifts: an Oregon Duck fleece blanket for Hunter, a cute little green and brown monkey blanket for baby Reeve and a Little Mermaid blanket for Reagan.
RJ fixed Amanda’s truck and while he chaperoned a youth dance, Amanda and I enjoyed a romantic comedy. It’s always fun when Amanda comes.
Reagan’s birthday was on Tuesday. She requested fruity pebbles for breakfast, spaghetti, brownies and ice cream for dinner. I took her out to Famous Dave’s to enjoy her free little Wilbur birthday meal.
A few months ago the Timberwolves won their game and scored over 100 points so we got free Cherry Berry coupons. Ever since then, Reagan has been saying she wants to go to Cherry Berry for her birthday. I thought she would lose interest and come up with something else but she never forgot it so we invited Macie Gardner, Madison Tanner, and Jane Hillyard to meet us at the yogurt bar after lunch for treats followed by a princess play date. I asked the girls to bring a bag of their dress ups and made a castle back drop to snap photos of the beauties. I thought I might just push this baby out while I was straining to blow up umpteen balloons but he’s still safe and sound in my tummy.
We also made a shell craft with coffee filters.
We invited the Rowley’s over for dinner and dessert. Reagan blew out the candles before we finished singing so I missed snapping a picture of the magic moment. She chose cotton candy ice cream (yuk) to go with the brownies.
We bought her a Frozen game similar to Candy Land, a poor man’s American Girl Doll (Our Generation Doll from Target), and an outfit for her and her new doll.
McKenna was shrieking and clapping with excitement as if she was receiving some grand gift.
We are so happy to have Reagan in our family. She is finding her sassy side which isn’t as fun but I guess it comes with the territory. We couldn’t enjoy the sweet if we didn’t suffer the sassy.
Happy Birthday Reagan!
