Reagan Turns 5

Reagan's Birthday!!!

She woke up to a Beta Fish in her room. She's blue and named Lily. Then, as soon as Nick and I left the room, they dumped a TON of food in the bowl, so I got to spend the morning cleaning out the bowl. It was a pre school day, so we took rainbow cupcakes for snacks. We got to stay and watch them play "animal action" and "freeze dance." Ike loved it! Coen did too! Reagan wanted Coen to stay so Mrs. Cindy said he could. It was really cute to hear them talk about it afterwords. Also, that let me get home and make her cake without too many interruptions. It was a three layer cake with pink, purple and white layers. Then we had one of Reagan's favorite people, Lauren, come over for dinner.

We put trick candles on the cake. She was laughing pretty hard. She never did get them all the way out. We had her best friend Allison and her family over for cake and ice cream. Her dad is the E Q pres. and was in meetings, but he and his councilors decided to stop by when they found out there was cake, so now I don't have to eat half a cake by myself. YAY! (I mean, I would have done it, but it's nice not to have too:)

And she got loaded up on Princess gear! Becky & Jenny Connolly sent her a princess backpack and a princess card. I was pretty sure she was going to pee her pants when she opened the card. It was fantastic! Thanks guys! Coen got her a princess cash register and Ike got her a princess alarm clock, so she can stop waking him up so early in the morning.

Our sweet next door neighbors brought over the perfect present. She came to breakfast this morning wearing the tiara and zebra slippers. Then she changed into the outfit Grandma Cardon sent. She and Coen have been trying to make muffins all morning. (Also, a present from Grandma Cardon.) I made her a canopy for her bed & Nick got her a barbie bike with no training wheels.

Coen kept asking all day if he could help Reagan open her prizes. I was very proud of him for not opening them all himself. I don't have pictures of Nanie and Poppy's present (which was a FANTASTIC barbie house) or Oma & Opa's presents (furniture for the barbie house) because my camera died. SORRY! We love them though. She kept bringing people in to show them her Barbie house. She had a wonderful birthday! Thank you everyone!
