Today, we celebrated Reagan's 2nd birthday by gathering family and friends at our church for an Old McDonald party! We had good food, big fun, and lots of laughs! Reagan really enjoyed her friends and Alexander was SUCH an excellent big brother to let her soak in the attention and gifts and keep a Christ-like attitude! I love the photos of them opening gifts together...warms a mother's heart for sure!!!
We truly missed those of you who weren't able to come because of the postponing of the party or because of illness. Three of Reagan's friends missed due to illness and so did Aunt Rach and Uncle Eric! And several other family members were not able to come once we postponed the party a week due to Reagan's hospitalization last week. You were missed if you weren't with us and we appreciate you thinking of her with gifts and cards so much! Thank you, Noni, for the haystacks, too! YUMMY!
So many cute memories! Because Reagan has an allergy to red dye, a big cute barn cake just wasn't gonna work out for us! Aunt Rach provided precious chocolate/minty animals, made by her sweet friend, to put atop my homemade cupcakes (with a little help from Betty Crocker)! Reagan loved the animals and chose them over anything else we had at the party! No tellin' how many she ate! She just kept saying, "Mo cow, mo peeg, mo lam" HA! She loves to sing...sings everyday while playing. We practiced and practiced Happy Birthday since Daddy and Sarah Elizabeth and Reagan all had them so close together! But when everyone was looking at her and singing today, she got so shy and embarrased, but was peeking out to see (and even singing along quietly)!
Reagan, embarrased but enjoying the birthday song!
Reagan, when asked how old she was gonna be! I think she acts 10 sometimes! :)
Happy girl! Reagan, enjoying her "cock-O-let" (chocolate)!
Reagan and Alexander opening presents together so sweetly!
Reagan reading a card intently! Pretty curls!
Big crowd of kids playing with the new Little People toy from Mimi and Slash!
The magna doodle on it was her favorite part! Wants to "write my R" so badly!
Not a great picture, but you just HAD to see her boots! Cutie patootie!
And her "Mick Moush" from Elizabeth and Ethan...good buy!
And just for fun, a photo of Alexander at his 2nd birthday party for comparison! When asked recently about the resemblance at this age, I said I really don't see it like others say they do and that, when he turned two, he looked SO much older than she does! But when I scrolled through to get the photo for the blog, I found that really wasn't true...more hair, but baby face! Some resemblance, but not clones!
HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE PHOTOS!!!

thank you for thinking of those of us who were SO SADLY unable to be there. the outfit was precious and i'm so glad everyone had a blast! you are a super party thrower! i'm so sad i missed it. eric is, too. i love you and thank you again for including us this way.
looks like it was fun! her boots are too cute!! i'm allergic to red dye too. i have never known anyone else that was. hate it for her. all the good kool aids have red! and later in life the punch at parties will be that tempting force she wants so bad just because she can't have it. well, maybe not but it is for me :-)
