Happy Birthday, Reagan!

My sweet little Reagan was born three years ago

.  She is getting so big, but she is growing into the most beautiful little girl.  Her smile warms my heart every day.  She always comes into my room every morning wanting a "Good Morning Hug".  She affectionately calls her baby sister "Pipey", and when she is needing some love, she will come to me with a stern command - "Hug and Kiss!!!", meaning she needs a hug and kiss, right here, right now.  Reagan thanks me for "taking care" of her when I give her breakfast, and she tells me she missed me when I get back from the store.  Reagan has been the biggest challenge, most rewarding thing that has ever happened to me, and she has truly showed me my purpose in life, and what it means to experience the best kind of love there is.  These are some pictures from her birthday.

You're Invited........ I made 60 of these babies by hand.  Lots of paper, lots of printer ink, lots of blades for the paper cutter, lots of hours.

I made Reagan an adorable little Tinkerbell outfit with a matching hairbow.  I FREAKING LOVE HAIRBOWS.  She doesn't.  This one was on a ponytail wrapped so tightly around her hair that she didn't even stand a chance of pulling it out.

Gosh - she is SOOOO cute, right?

Don't even get me started on my cake.  I made marshmallow fondant, WHICH, everytime I make, I hate.  I hate the consistency, the feel, how it goes on the cake, the only thing I like..... it's cheap.  So that's why I did it.  I shouldn't have.  I may try it again sometime, I always do, and I'll probably hate it that time too.  So anyways, the cake tasted great.  That's about it : (.

My cookies turned out kinda cute.  I made a ton of these.  They were party favors, and I took them to Reagan's preschool for her class to share for her birthday.  Her teacher put up a Happy Birthday banner and they sang to her.  Wasn't that nice?

And boy am I ever glad I made extra cookies, because that is what I used to

bribe Reagan to let me take her picture.

We had the party at Jumpstreet, it's an indoor trampoline park 

We got there a lot and we love it.  It's just fun.

They let me bring my own tablecovers and plates, etc.  I like matching.  I'm not at all OCD in my real life, but when it comes to party planning, I get obsessed.

We had pizza and sang Happy Birthday.  You probably could have guessed that.

Reagan got SO many great gifts.  Thank you to everyone who came for all of your extremely generous gifts.  We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.

And just so I don't leave out my little #2.  Piper is great too :).  I love her just as much :).  She will get a very special blog post after her birthday in September.
