Christmas Eve Breakfast

We had a family Christmas Eve Breakfast date this morning. We tried our favorite IHOP, but the line was too long and the kids were too hungry ~ so, we ended up at Bojangle's.

Cooper doesn't care where we eat, as long as we eat

Reagan really wanted to eat at IHOPbreakfast is served

She told jokes all morning Just gorgeous!After breakfast, Greg and Reagan went to serve lunch at the Grace House Homeless Center. This is a picture before they left ~ since I wasn't there, there are no pictures of the actual event!

We hope to make serving those less fortunate than us a tradition with both the kids as they get older. We are so blessed and want to share what God has given to us with others.

Reagan's Big Day

WARNING: Reagan had a really big day, so there are lots of pictures!!!

Reagan started her day off by going on a date with dad to the IHOP

Cooper wanted in the picture, but he didn't want to look at the camera!Next Reagan started gymnastics school. She was so excited, she could hardly stand it!

Did you see me out there? Reagan got 2 smiley face stamps and a coloring sheet after class today After a date with dad, gymnastics, lunch and a bath, it was time to go see Disney on Ice~Celebrations. I've had the tickets for this event for over 3 months, but Reagan just found out about it last night!

Walking to the van

Before we left the show, Reagan said she wanted to get Cooper something. I assured her Cooper was fine and didn't even know what he was missing, but Reagan insisted and I couldn't rob her of the chance to be a good big sister. So, she picked him out a Mickey Mouse stuffed animal.

Giving Cooper his surprise

Reagan had a great day. When asked what her favorite part of the day was, she said gymnastics school ~ she can't wait to go again next week! I'm sure all parts of the day were enjoyed equally (at least I hope they were!)!

Whew! I know that was a lot of pictures (thanks for hanging in there), but that was less than 1/4 of what I took!
