Regan's birthday started off with a big surprise! We took her to lunch at the Indian restaurant because she was a bit bummed that her best friend here could not come to her party. She didn't know it, but I had been talking with her in secret to see if she could make a lunch work. CK showed up for lunch and Regan couldn't even look at her. She just was so surprised that she started crying.
It was so sweet.
We also hid a present for her in Jonathan's backpack. We got her some new books. She LOVES to read!
birthday lunch
I made a fruit pizza to celebrate.
I think this one is a good one.
We made butterscotch oatmeal cookies,
confetti cake cookies
and fudge!
Hillary, Joseph (and Daniel...her husband) all came down for Regan's party.
WE had alfredo and green beans for lunch.
Hudson enjoyed playing cards with Daniel.
Winter, Yoyo, and Xiao Jun also came down to celebrate, but they had to leave before the party. WE also gave them their Christmas presents while they were here.

We played a little Monopoly...I didn't do so well :)
