Christmas Day 2008

Christmas morning was such a special time for our family. Reagan and Cooper enjoyed playing with the toys Santa left and Reagan was especially excited that Santa ate all the cookies she had baked for him and drank all of his milk.

Coming down the stairs to see what Santa had left

Looking at all the stamps and ink pads she received
3 princess Barbies for my princess

Cooper wants to play with Reagan's toys of course

What's in the stocking?

Checking out what's in his stocking

What do I play with now?

Of all the toys he got, he still likes to play with spatulas and get into the refrigerator!

Trying to get Reagan's toys before she notices

Up to the art studio for some painting

Using the stamps ~ she especially like the one with her name on it

An artist in the making

The next Picasso?

Having fun with each other

Cooper's turn to draw

Working one of her puzzles she got

It was such a pretty day, we decided to go for a walk around the neighborhood

And Reagan played in the Secret Garden

We have several movies from Christmas, but they're not uploading. I'll post them when I get a chance!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Saturday Play

The Secret Garden is back!

Filling up the watering can Putting on the gardening gloves
Trying to decide what to work on first
Decided it would be easier without the gloves
Telling the biggest tale I've ever heard!

Cute Reagan story:
Reagan: We get to stay home on Saturday!
Mom: Yes we do, but mom has to go get her hair cut.
Reagan: I want to get my hair cut.
Mom: You do?
Reagan: Yes, I need pink hair.
Mom: Pink hair?
Reagan: Yes, do you want pink hair mommy?
Mom: No
Reagan: No? You want brown hair? I don't like brown hair, it's not my favorite color. I like pink hair. It's my favorite color!

Secret Garden

Reagan came downstairs this afternoon with her gardening gloves, hat and tool bag in hand. She said she needed to go work in the secret garden and would I come with her. So off we went. I had no idea what she was planning, but she seemed to know exactly what she was doing.

Watering the garden Notice how the tool bag is being carried like a purse
Now, she decided we needed to look for grasshoppers
Reagan even made up a song about her secret garden ~ listen closely
