Reggie had a wonderful day visiting with Grandma's, Aunt Liha and getting some e-mail pictures from his buddy Kellen. Of course he enjoyed opening his presents too! We were able to use the webcam, so he could open his presents live. Technology is great!!! Aunt Liha and Uncle Wade got Reggie a super zoom Eye Clops and it wasn't working very well, so I asked Ryan to test it....I just looked up and he was magnifying his butt. Why???
We had a nice dinner at Red Robin and Reggie enjoyed his free meal. He wasn't so sure about the singing, but enjoyed the ice cream sundae that came after. When we got home, he watched his new movie, Wall-E and I think that was a hit. He was making robot noises as he was laying in his bed, trying to fall asleep. He is too funny!
Look how tall he is getting!
Things that make Reggie who he is:
His gentle soul
His love and protectiveness for his sister
His LOUD voice when he gets excited
His giggle
His love of imaginative play-he has an amazing ability to talk like characters (recently it has been Tigger) and even talk with foreign accents
His obsession with super hero's
His cautiousness and smart instinct
His crash when he is hungry and his huge appetite-watch out!
His love of take-out, chase, hide and seek
He must have hugs and kisses before we leave
We hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving. Ours was very mellow and we enjoyed having 4 days of family time! Ryan and I slept in almost everyday-Reggie and Ainsley have been playing every morning :o). They went to the beach the other day and got on their swimsuits and goggles and were swimming in the living room:
I had my first and last adventure doing the early morning shopping at Walmart-what a nightmare. Not something I would recommend unless you get up early to wait in line; I ended up getting nothing and was up at 4:30 :o(. It worked out because I was getting caught up in the commercialism of Christmas and I had a little time to rethink and realized my children don't really need anything, so we are scaling back. Tomorrow, Ryan and Reggie are presenting at his school and showing his classmates his shoe box full of toys for a little boy in a foreign country. Both kids are participating in Operation Christmas Child which gives sends presents all over the world. Hopefully, they will learn what a blessing it is to give :o).

Happy birthday Reggie! Off to kindergarten next year! Wow! How time flies! Your Wal-mart experience sounded not-so-fun. I try to avoid the place all the time and I heard how bad it was on Black Friday...a black day indeed. We are scaling back as well...getting creative for Christmas and enjoying the season. Have a good one!
