November has about come and gone. Where, oh where, did it go? Is anyone else feeling this way?
Reagan turned 7 on the 17th and let's just say, the sweet girl has been celebrated! Multiple Times! I have referred to it as the BirthMonth, not BirthDay.
We started off with Doc and Mimi coming to town and taking us all to GattiTown for dinner and games. Of course, I do not have a single picture of the evening! They gave Reagan a karaoke machine and you can only imagine how excited she was!
The next day, we had her actual birthday party with her friends. I caved and let her have a "Rockstar/Justin Bieber" themed party. What was I thinking? Actually, the girls had an absolute blast and the few adults that hung around (mainly the ones I begged and pleaded to stay and help!) managed to make it through as well.
The Birthday Girl and the Bieb!
Silly Girls waiting for the party to get started!
My very practical husband insisted that I reserve the clubhouse in our neighborhood instead of hosting 17 little girls at our house. I am so thankful for the head on that man's shoulders! Whew! The clubhouse was perfect!
Speaking of my husband. He also hired Justin Bieber himself to make an appearance at the party! This daddy holds nothing back when it comes to his kids! Ha!
(If you are not laughing at this picture, there is something seriously wrong with you! I'm afraid the Biebs had just recently gotten a bad color job at the salon!)
I was a little star struck, myself!
Karaoke Time!
Justin Bieber and some of his adoring fans
What's a party without a cookie cake? My two oldest kids have vetoed any real birthday cake/cupcakes at their parties. They prefer this. Easy enough!
(A certain 2-year-old sampled the icing a few times before it was actually served!)

Happy Birthday to ME!

Fast forward to the following weekend and it was time to celebrate with Pops, Lucy, Uncle Greg, Aunt Kristie, Brandt and Carson! (Once again, these were the only pictures I managed to get!)

Aunt Kristie outdid herself with the bucket of crafts they gave Reagan! She was so excited about it!
During the week of her actual birthday, two of Reagan's best friends, Avery and Brooke, took her out to eat and for a milkshake!
The morning of the 17th she woke up to some presents from Mom and Dad.
Candles in a donut are always a hit!
Brad surprised the kids and went to school with them that day to be the WatchDog! Basically it's a program for dads to volunteer to be up at school all day, in the classrooms, doing lunch duty, walking the halls, etc. It's such a great program!
The night of her birthday, Mema and Mr. Britton treated us to pizza and cookie cake!
Last week, we headed to Waco to spend a few days since the kids had the week off. We got there on Saturday and were able to celebrate Aunt Ernie's and Aunt Alli's birthday on Sunday!
These are my two dearest friends in all the world!
On Monday, Aunt Ernie and Aunt Alli put together the cutest peace sign party for Reagan. They had yet to get to celebrate with her, so why not throw another party!? They even came up with the idea to invite Reagan's BFF from Waco, Sophie! Sophie gave Reagan this BU shirt to match hers! (Reagan has already told me that she thinks they will probably be roommates at Baylor one day!)
Two Baylor Beauties sitting in the PINK furry chair from the aunts! (and uncles and cousins!)

ICE CREAM CAKE! YUMM-O!!!
Pinata time!
Payton is all about safety and felt these goggles would be necessary to swing at the pinata!

Sam
(Look at that precious, snotty grin!)
And Beautiful Riley!
(with the added bonus of some spit-up!)
Reagan,
I hope you can look back at all of these pictures and see how loved you are! You are one amazing kid and I am so proud to be your mom! You inspire me, challenge me, and leave me awe-struck so very often. You are one of the smartest, silliest, creative, most caring little girls I have ever known. I love you more than you will ever know. One day, I hope you have the privilege of having a little girl of your own that brings you as much joy as you bring me. I hope your month long celebration left you feeling thankful and grateful for all the family and friends you have that love you so very much!
Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!
