Birthday Celebrations

Regan- 2nd grade
(ps- like her nails? She wanted "halloween" colors!)

This is Carl Bob...or Carl Vector...or Josh Turner...not exactly sure :)

 

   

My little Regan- 8 years old

      Regan didn't just have an ordinary birthday this year, she turned 8!! Birthdays are a big deal to me so I try to make it as special as possible to our girls. Regan had some extra special birthday celebrations! We started her day with an idea I stole from Pinterest :) Carli and Mollie were my lovely assistants in saran wrapping balloons to her door so when she opened it, the balloons would fall on her...it was awesome! We waited in the hallway while Chad knocked on her door (her door is usually open) to wake her up. When she opened it and the balloons fell, it looked like she might pee her pants! It completely caught her off guard! So much fun!
     We had a great breakfast of biscuits and gravy (her favorite!) before sending them to school. I had talked to her teacher about bringing in a treat to help her celebrate with her class and asked Regan what kind of treat she wanted to bring in. Her request: Doughnuts WITH sprinkles :) I bought out every sprinkle doughnut City Market had that morning! Her class was adorable and she was nothing but smiles!
     As soon as school was over (it was Wednesday early release) we took the girls into town for Regan to pick out her present...a fish!! She's been asking for a beta fish ever since Carli got her fish 2 years ago. We decided she was old enough to be able to care for one properly. My favorite part was listening to the girls trying to come up with what to name it :) So funny! We then picked pumpkins, went to soccer practice, had popsicles with her team, and came home for dinner and birthday singing. Most kids want to blow out candles on a birthday CAKE, but not Regan. She wanted a birthday RICE KRISPY TREAT instead :) It was a whole day full of birthday celebrations! What a great birthday for such a sweet girl!! Happy 8th Birthday my sweet Regan!!
