Reagan's 3rd Birthday Party

Reagan birthday party could not have turned out any better. We had PERFECT weather. There was a nice breeze all day so it wasnt overly hot. The ponies were perfect. They brough two... a little one (think the size of a really big dog) and a medium sized one. They had asked what age they would be and suggested that some of them might be affraid of a larger pony so thats why we decided on a small and medium one. Every kid got to ride as many times as they wanted and it worked out perfectly because right as our hour was up, the kids had gotten there fill. Reagan probably rode 15-20 times. The ladies that brought the ponies were great! The kids played on the trampoline and swingset while they were waiting their turn and had snacks in between. My talented mom painted the kids faces (which would be why Reagan has a bunny nose in most of the pictures) Reagan had so much fun which is what makes the stress of all of it well worth it. We had cupcakes with horses and cowboy boots on top of them and we gave each child a cowboy hat, bandana, and a little stuffed horse for their party favor. Thanks to everyone who came and made this day so special for Reagan!!!!
No cowgirl birthday party would be complete without Red cowgirl boots and a matching belt...both rediculously overpriced but well worth the "cute" factor.
Waiting for the ponies

Grandma did face painting.



The ponies are here!!!! The birthday girl got the first ride.


Reagan would have stayed on a pony the whole time I think.
It worked out perfectly because we have an empty lot next to our house that made for a perfect pony area. She doesnt look to enthusiastic in this picture because I was making her take a picture instead of letting her walk.


Brody LOVED the ponies. I was really surprised as to how much he liked them... he didnt want to get off.

Reagan pretending to blow out her candals. It was so windy that I couldnt get the candles to light so we just had to pretend.


I did cupcakes for all the kids... it is easier than trying to cut cake and pass it out. The blue icing maybe wasnt the best idea though....

Happy Birthday Reagan!!!!
