She knows how to celebrate and this girl had some big plans for the day! First, she headed to Wildcat sports camp with one of her best friends to do some cheer leading and then, it was off to Vacation Bible School.
After a quick lunch, it was time for her birthday party at the pool. It is almost always hot on Regan's birthday, and she loves water, so a pool party is a perfect fit! We are so thankful that her friend's family always generously shares their neighborhood pool with us.
This boy keeps everything interesting!
After the party, it was finally time for her to open her family gifts. Regan was funny this year because she really couldn't think of anything that she was dying to have...except a pair of goggles. So she got those and a few other things too. Can't go wrong with legos in this family!
We like to take our 8 years olds to a nice dinner out with just Mom and Dad. Sometimes it is hard to get all the arrangements to fall into place, but once again we had awesome babysitter friends, and we were able to whisk Regan away to Olive Garden for a delicious meal. This girl is just delightful to be with..especially when there are not siblings to fight with. She had wonderful manners, and we loved spending time with our girl. She is interesting to talk with and has lots of ideas and opinions.
Regan is the apple of her daddy's eye...when we found out Luke was a boy, Regan was really disappointed and even cried because she wanted a little sister. But then Tod took her aside and told her something that really changed her tune...basically it was that now she would ALWAYS be his baby girl and pretty much be spoiled by him forever...that is very true!
It was a great day to celebrate Regan. I love her so much. She is almost always happy and easy to get along with. She does have a stubborn streak that I have never seen matched in any of my other children. She is a hard worker and does her best. And she is a really good friend to children and people of all ages.
Happy Birthday Regan Roo!
