Fire and Ice

Tonight was the local Girl Scout Council's annual Father/Daughter Dance.  The theme for the dance was Fire and Ice.  Each scout and their father was asked to wear red and/or blue.  I ordered Reagan 4 different dresses, and she fell in love with this one.

 Daddy and Daughter

 Greg and Reagan went out to dinner at Reagan's favorite restaurant (Taco Boy), then headed to the dance.  At the dance, they had cupcakes, ice cream and several other treats.  Reagan said they played a lot of good music...and this was the best night of her life!

Meanwhile, Cooper also planned a date night for me and him.  He wanted to eat at Sonic and have a milkshake.  Big spender, that one!

 we got the food to go so we could come home to the best part of the date...cartoons.  Seriously, if he treats all his dates this way, he won't have too many.  That may not be a bad idea!!!

When Reagan and Greg made it home, we finished off the evening with a family movie night.  We watched The Book of Life.

Saturday Scenes

It was a busy Saturday for the Sandidges.  First up, Reagan attended a friend's roller skating birthday party (which meant I also attended & skated at the party).  Then, we picked up Cooper and Greg for lunch and to run some errands.  When we came home, the boys played indoor football and then we watched "Simon Birch" for our family movie night.

Reagan found that it was easier to roller skate with in-line skates than regular roller skates.  It was more like ice skates for her.

  

 This is us skating together before the big fall (mine, not Reagan's).  I'm bruised really good and am pretty sure I may have cracked my tail bone.  I believe it's time for a certain 41 year old to hang up her skates! 

 Cooper has discovered being a dj - he loves to wear his headphones for no reason at all!

We ended the night with dinner and a movie

Fun on the First

We had a great start to the New Year!  We cleaned the house, did a little yard work, played a few games, went ice skating, and also had a quick/surprise visit from Mamaw, Papaw, Helen & Allen.

Cooper and daddy added an extra shelf to Reagan's bookshelf

 Cooper did take a little time to enjoy the cool weather

Now, let's go to bed and get some sleep!
