Skating Surprise

Greg & I surprised Reagan tonight with tickets to see Scott Hamilton and Friends on Ice.  She was so excited to see professional skaters.  She told Cooper they were professional, they were a "little better" than her!!  She said this was the best night of her life and just kept thanking me over and over for bringing her.
