Fun Filled Friday

What a busy day we had today! This morning was another successful TPG with a really fun "Music" theme. Maribel (John's cousin) was this week's hostess at her home in New Milford.


Avery and Taylor


Mia and Bennett

Everyone was supposed to bring an instrument, so Mia played the drums while Reagan danced (and ate a pretzel)

All the girls: Reagan, Avery, Taylor, Mia and Grace



I looked over and noticed that Grace had sat in the drum ... when I pointed this out to her mother Audra, we all got a good laugh.


Maribel was such a great hostess ... she compiled empty containers and various food items so the kids could make their own musical instruments. Reagan filled her container with Yogo's and raisins, but did more eating than music-making.


We left TPG a little early to make it to the River Vale First Friends end-of-the-year Carnival. We hung out with our friends from our weekly FF playgroup and we were even lucky enough to run into Ms. Lisa, Reagan's preschool teacher!

Since we were there early to help set up, Reagan received the very first balloon ... this may not seem like a big deal, but if you saw the line that soon formed and only got longer and longer, you'd realize why we were happy about it!
Amanda and Avery

Happy Avery ... you probably can't see it, but I actually managed to get a very small amount of hair into an elastic band on the top of her head today! She's wearing an outfit that was Reagan's, so I just had to find a picture of Reagan wearing it. It's pretty scary that I knew exactly where to find it, since I remembered she wore it to Moon Lake, two summers ago. Here's Reagan and my little sister Camille on 6/23/06 which means Reagan was 7 months old ~ exact same age as Avery now. Not sure if you can tell, but there was a lot more room in the outfit when Reagan wore it ... it's pretty tight on Avery and I doubt she'll ever fit into it again.

Back to the present. Ms. Lisa's daughter Nicole is the girl on the right (her friend Maeve is on the left). I told them to smile and I thought it was so funny to see Nicole strike a pose!

Some of Reagan's First Friends, L to R: Tammy and her daughter Elizabeth, Caitlyn and Christine, and Jessica and Tina.

Isn't it so great how excited kids get about balloons. Well...atleast until it deflates or pops. Thanks for putting the picture of me and Reagan. However, it was a little weird to hear you call me your 'little' sister. I guess it has been a while since I have heard that!
