Big party

I realized I hadn't put any pictures of Raegan's actual birthday party up, so I thought I better get to that. We normally just do a small family get together on the kids actual birthday, and then have a "friends" party at a more convenient date. This year (as you already saw with her mini bowling party) she ended up having two parties since so many people had the day of her actual birthday off. Her real party was about 2 weeks after her birthday, and she asked on the morning of her party "Momma, do I get to turn 5 today?" Either two weeks of being 4 was enough for her or we had just confused her with 2 parties. Here is the cute little Minnie Mouse birthday girl ready to have fun.

Our family portrait of the day

Patiently waiting for the candles to be lit so she could make her wish (which she announced that she wished for a Buzz Lightyear?!)

She insisted on "Vanna White"-ing all of her presents so everyone could see.

Raegan and Elizabeth Nestel going down the slide. These two became instant friends at bible school.

It was a little cold, but the kids didn't seem to notice. They all had a great time on this big water slide. And thankfully, we had no injuries!

And, no Raegan Roop party would be complete without a game of duck duck goose. She loves a good goose chase!

It was a little chaotic at times, but the kids all had a wonderful time. Happy 4th birthday, again, Raegan!
