Reagan's 4th Birthday!

Yesterday was Reagan's birthday!

Reagan had a Strawberry Shortcake party!

This is her birthday cake that I decorated for her.

I think that it turned out pretty cute!

We had a special visitor come to the party.  

It was Strawberry Shortcake herself!

All the girls were in ah when they saw Strawberry Shortcake walk in.

They just starred at her and got real quiet!

Strawberry Shortcake is Reagan's 2nd cousin Elise.

We colored pictures of Strawberry Shortcake and then laminated them to make place mats.  

This is Reagan's friend Nyah working hard on her masterpiece!

After the place mats were complete, we had a little treat!

We had little sandwiches, strawberries, and a yummy ice cream soda drink.  We used Red Vines licorice for straws!

This is Reagan's 2nd cousin Vanessa enjoying her drink!

After we were finished with our treats we went outside to bust the pinata open!  Reagan got to go first!  She gave it a big left handed swing.  She's a tough girl with all those brothers!

Finally, last but not least our guest of honor smashed the pinata open in Strawberry Shortcake like fashion!  Strawberry Shortcake was a hit!  

The girls went crazy going after the candy!

What a cute Birthday Girl!

Then we came inside and had a little dance party!  We learned the 'Strawberry Shake' on Reagan's new Strawberry Shortcake Let's Dance video.

Reagan got to use the dance mat and we all just pretended to have one.  

When the party was all said and done we asked Reagan, "What was your most favorite part about your birthday party?" she said "Dancing!"

Strawberry Shortcake (Elise) got hot after busting the pinata!  When she saw that the next activity was dancing she decided it was time to change out of the Strawberry shortcake outfit and put on something more comfortable.  When she came back in the room one little girl just stared at her and then finally said, "You're not Strawberry Shortcake!"  Elise said, "I know, I'm Reagan's cousin!"  This was all so confusing!  After the party the mom of this little girl told me that she came home from the party and told her that a 'pretend' Strawberry Shortcake was at the party!

Reagan opened up presents one at a time.  She got lots of really fun things!  

I loved watching each girl give Reagan the gift they brought for her, almost as much as I enjoyed watching Reagan open them up!  They were all so very excited!

This is a dress that Grandma Adair sent all the way from Arizona!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Reagan, Happy Birthday to you!  Now make a wish and blow out your candles!  She says, "I don't want to make a wish and I want you to help me blow out the candles."  So that's just what happened!  Hey, you got to do what the Birthday Girl wants, that's just the way it is!

So the party was a success!

From left to right:  Samantha, Vanessa, Strawberry Shortcake Elise, Callie, Birthday Girl Reagan, Nyah, Jane and Keagan.  What a bunch of cuteies!

Later David and I took Reagan out on her birthday date with just her mom and dad!  We went to Wingers for dinner and then to Walmart to pick out a treat to take to preschool the next day for her preschool birthday celebration.  While at Walmart Reagan found something to buy with her birthday money her Grandma Adair sent her.  Her very own i pod!  It's actually an MP3 player, but it looks like an i pod so it's an i pod to her!  She is thrilled with her new i pod!  

Happy Birthday sweet little Reagan girl!

We love you!
