Pajama Party

Ryan is out of town for the night, so Reagan and I decided to have a pajama party! Well, I decided to do it and explained the whole process to Reagan, and then she agreed that it would be a fun idea. She has been anxiously awaiting the PAJAMA PARTY all day long... I lost count of the number of times that she asked me if we were really going to eat popcorn in bed tonight! But before we could get to our fun night, we had to have a fun day first.

Denise, Brady & Karis came over to spend the day playing in the back yard with us. Reagan loves her cousins so much, and I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am to have a sister-in-law that is also a friend. We played, we laughed, we relaxed, and we ate a fabulous dinner. Once they left to go home, Reagan and I started our preparations for our own little party. She took the fastest bath that I think is humanly possible, and then she ran into my bedroom and jumped up onto the bed. "It's time for popcorn, Mommy!" she said. So, true to my word, I brought up a big bowl of popcorn to eat in bed while we snuggled up together to watch a movie. We didn't even make it to the halfway point of the movie before we started getting really silly. We were tickling each other, laughing, singing songs, and dancing on my bed. At some point we hopped off of the bed and started playing dress up with all of my jewelry. She finally gave up and fell asleep just a short while ago... almost 3 hours past her normal bedtime.

I have to tell you, tonight was one of the most fun nights that I have had. My sides are hurting from laughing, and my cheeks are hurting from smiling so much. But my heart feels no pain at all. It is just full!
