Reagan Turns 4

This post is a little later than I'd hoped, but oh well.  I've got to give myself a little grace in some areas of my life ;)

I can't believe Reagan is FOUR!!  Where have the past four years gone?  I seriously don't know.  Ryan and I were talking the other day about how quickly these years are passing; although it doesn't always seem that way.  He's becoming such a sweet spirited and caring child.  He's definitely not a toddler anymore; he's grown up to "kid" status!

For Reagan's birthday, we took him to get a donut before church at Mariano's.  The day before, the kids and Darcy made Mickey Mouse pretzel snacks for Reagan to take to Sunday School with him for their treat.  He was thrilled to be able to share these snacks with his friends.  The best part of the morning, though, was being in "big" church during singing and then going down to Children's Church for the first time.  By far, this was the most exciting part of turning four ;)


So excited to be in Children's Church with Katie as his teacher

After quiet time ended, we decided to give Reagan one of his presents: his bike with training wheels!  He was really excited, but had a hard time trying to ride it.  The weather was a little chilly, so he didn't stay out for very long.

Learning to ride with training wheels!

It was time to make dinner anyway. Reagan originally requested "meat and ground beef."  We guided him toward picking hamburgers and when I asked him what he wanted as a side dish, he said "chicken."  No question, this little guy likes to eat!!  We ended up having hamburgers and home baked french fries (so yummy!).

 

The Lehmanns and Sue came over for dessert and presents. I made him a blue square lego cake with 4 nodules on the top.  I even wrote "LEGO" on each of the nodules.  I think he really liked the cake.  He grinned from ear to ear the whole time!  Reagan received lots of Planes: Fire and Rescue presents, as well as Legos, some Thomas stuff, and some clothes.  All in all, it was a really fun day to celebrate the little man turning four!
