Today we hosted Reagan's birthday party. We debated having a party but in the end decided to give it a go. Reagan was VERY excited! Since the majority of her friends are boys (all but one) AND since our house is a construction zone we had a Bob The Builder Construction Party... minus Bob.
It turned out perfect. We had five kiddos including Reags (Liam, William, Ammon, and Elise). The kids mostly played in the basement where it is a free for all. We gave everyone a tool apron and a couple of tools (screwdriver, measuring tape, carpenters pencil) and had a couple of boxes of wood for them to play with. They were also encouraged to write where ever they pleased:).
Marcus headed up games of building the tallest tower, and the sock toss into the sheet rock. He also helped them measure and mark different spots on the floor and sheet rock. After the kids played we had them eat their sack lunch and then open presents and eat cupcakes. It was AWESOME to hear 3 year old kids sing Happy Birthday together!
Reagan loved having balloons in the house and even feel asleep with one.
After a very busy quiet time for Mom and Dad (painting, sheet rocking, and more painting) we decided to get out of the house for dinner.We took our partying to Red Robin. Reagan learned at Ainsley's birthday that restaurants do special things for birthdays so she was very excited. Sure enough they sang her a very festive song and presented her with 3 balloons and a large Sundae. We even let her eat some of it (I am sure I will pay for this later with the whole milk allergy but I just couldn't resist letting her have some). The pictures say it all.
And now the birthday festivities are finished.
