Oh November, the month full of excitement: birthdays, birthdays, more
birthdays and Thanksgiving! I love this month and I've made Miss Raegan
love it as well - especially all the spoiling that occurs this month.
And boy was this little lady spoiled!!Of course we started the month off with a birthday countdown, which to a 2 year old was probably torture. She was in full anticipation mode of that glorious day for weeks! And when it finally arrived, it was a week long celebration: we had a celebration at her daycare, a family party at the house and then her special friend birthday party at Wacky Tacky - a local party place just for kids.
Raegan was showered with love by all the family - and especially loved having her Uncles and Aunties come into town for the special occasion. Not only was she showered with love, but she was showered with princess stuff galore! Our life threw up pink, but we accepted it because she absolutely loved it all. She is princess through and through and it's by far her favorite thing right now.
In addition to all of the princess gifts, we upgraded her room to a princess theme in honor of this new found obsession. It was adorable to see her eyes light up when she saw her new room and said it was "beautiful." She couldn't wait to take a nap and be in her room. Success!
This month also included a road trip to Los Osos for Thanksgiving to see the Kelly family. Raegan loves her road trips - mostly because she gets to watch movies, eat junk food and of course suck on her "crack pipe" as I call it - the pacifier. This is one thing we really want to break her of, but when you're 8 months pregnant and on a 6 hour road trip, you choose your battles! Raegan had a blast seeing her family and playing with all of her cousins. It's by far one of our favorite things to see her enjoy playing with her cousins and watch them grow up together. Even though they are all boys, she hangs pretty well...playing in her dresses as she climbs play structures and runs around with the boys! It's adorable. We love that she's all girl, but doesn't get phased by playing in the dirt or running around.
This month also included our annual family photo shoot. Ever since my brother's wedding in September, Miss Raegan has finally taken to the camera, which makes for much better photos! Granted she has an interesting squint and doesn't always look directly into the camera, this year's shots were by far better and she was much more cooperative. It's fun to see her blossom and to see her personality shine through all the photos. Overall, we had another exciting month full of adventures. Next month won't disappoint and we look forward to seeing how Miss Raegan handles Santa and Christmas this year!
