Better late than never...

I know this post is a little belated. I had all these photos on my camera and then my camera broke resulting in my forgetting all about them. Anyway, I finally uploaded them and of course I needed to share Rhaegan's special day with everyone. She was able to celebrate her birthday with her closest friends at Carl's Jr. She has now labeled "opening presents" as her favorite thing to do. Having a birthday so close to Christmas is going to cause some "spoiled" moments in our house, I can just feel it.She had a great time playing and opening gifts. She received so many great things.
Play-Doh is the best and this caddy is so much fun. I sometimes find Shae enjoying it even more than Rhaegan does.

This wrapping paper is what Rhaegan liked the best.

Homemade cupcakes with pink frosting and sprinkles. I could have made tofu cake and it would have been fine just as long as the pink frosting was on top of it.

It was a great day!

I know I said this particular post would come the day after Rhaegan's favorites were posted but as you can see I it's been much longer than a day. Oh well, better late than never.

Anniversary

Happy Anniversary!

Yesterday we celebrated a special day. It's been 5 wonderful years since Shae and I took the plunge into eternal bliss. Okay, that's a little extreme I know. I do what Shae to know though, that I love him and appreciate everything he does for our family. I would not be the person I am today without him by my side. Our day was simple yet perfect.

I was surprised with a beautiful arrangement of daisies in the morning. Shae actually got online and researched what flower was suppose to be given on your 5th anniversary

We then got to go to dinner and I movie which was absolutely fantastic.

The day wasn't quite over though. When we arrived home from our date I had a little present waiting for me. "The Proposal" is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.

Thank you, Shae for a wonderful day. I love you!!
