Sunrise Lunch & First Ballet Class- 338/365

Today, Reagan went off to school. She had a good day!

After I picked her up, we went over to Tippy, to meet Nana for the annual Sunrise Christmas Lunch. Every December, Nana invites some of the residents from Sunrise to have a nice lunch at Tippy. They just love getting out and having a nice day. They always enjoy seeing Reagan, too! And Reagan loves passing out the little treats Nana gets for them. This year it was a box of chocolate and a lottery ticket. They loved it. They all immediately started scratching and a few had winners which was great! They were thrilled! 

They brought Reagan a little present, too! It was a huge princess activity kit which really kept Reagan busy during lunch! She loved her present, too!

After lunch, we headed down to Columbiana for Reagan's first ballet class at Generation Dance Academy! She was SO pumped!  We wanted somewhere where it wasn't too competitive at this young age. We just somewhere where she can just focus on having fun. This place came highly recommended from a good friend. We immediately loved it. Reagan loved her special ballet shoes and her little skirt. I think she will really enjoy it. We can't wait for her little recital in May! YAY!

This evening, we had our annual pictures at Robert Senn with Santa Claus. We just love doing this mini session. We love seeing the difference in Reagan every year, too! She did great and just loved her gown! 

Busy, but good day!

 I just loved this picture!

Precious moments with Santa!

                                             

Sunrise Vist - 278/365

Today Reagan was spending the day with Nana.
Nana and Papa are heading off to Myrtle Beach in a couple days, so they wanted to get some Reagan time in.
They ended up stopping at Sunrise to drop some Halloween Candy off for their Trick or Treat. Nana always donates candy and Reagan loves to go there to Trick or Treat.
They got to see our sweet family friend, Joyce. We just love Joyce, but don't get to see her as much as we'd like! They had fun catching up. Reagan also loved seeing Carrie's dog. She played with him for quite awhile!
When they were leaving, Carrie gave Reagan a little stuffed Sunrise Assisted Living bear. He has since taken up residence in her bed with about 400 other friends. LOL!  She loves him.
This afternoon, I was doing some cleaning and noticed Brandy and Bailey all cuddled up on the couch. It was so cute I had to snap a picture!
This evening, since Reagan was still with Nana and Papa, Jim and I slipped out to see Gone Girl. What a fabulous movie! Absolutely suspenseful and had lots of twists and turns. Ben Affleck was awesome!
It was a nice little night out!
The first pic is Reagan and Joyce. 

Next, Reagan and Sunrise.

Finally, cat cuddles. 

Disney on Ice & Sunrise Lunch - 346/365

Today was another busy day! 

 Jim went off to work and Reagan and I got ready to go to a luncheon. 

Last year, my mom invited some of the residents from Sunrise Assisted Living to Tippy for a Christmas lunch. My grandma and grandpa used to live there, so we got to know everyone pretty good. My mom still volunteers for some of their events from time to time. They all really enjoyed the lunch last year, so she decided to do it again. It's so nice for them to get out and about. A couple of the ladies really got a kick out of watching Reagan play. They were nice enough to bring her a little present, so she was completely content through the whole lunch. They brought her a Minnie Mouse classroom with Minnie as the teacher and two little mice students. She loved it! 

 All the residents loved their lunch and especially their cake! My mom had iced sugar cookies and candy canes in individual bags for each of them. Reagan loved going around and passing them out. They each got a big smile when she handed them their treasure. It was a really nice afternoon for everyone! 

 This evening, we were heading downtown to the Covelli Center for Disney On Ice: 100 Years of Magic. We were so excited! We had front row seats, too, bonus! 

 We grabbed our popcorn and got settled in the seats. It was a great show because it touched on almost everything! The first half had almost every princess come out, Reagan was in absolute heaven! They did parts from Ariel, Cinderella, Jasmine, Belle, and Snow White. Even Pocahontas and Mulan, it was really great! They also had a Nemo act, which was really cool! The sharks came out, which made Reagan a little nervous, but she still liked it. 

 The second act, had the Incredibles, Pinocchio and Lion King. The Incredibles, were a little boring for us, we were never that into it. The Pinocchio part was fun. We could not figure out how his nose kept getting longer and shorter. It was amazing! 

 One of our favorite parts was, It's a Small World. They transformed the castle they had, into the front of the, It's a Small World Ride. They had the "clock face" and everything, it was really neat. That was one of Reagan's favorite rides this time, so she LOVED it! 

They even threw in an act of Toy Story, which was kinda cool.  

At the end of the show, a lot of the characters came around to the edge of the ice and were shaking all the little one's hands. Reagan was thrilled that Ariel stopped by and said, hello! 

We had a really fun time and Jim and I both said, it was probably one of the best Disney on Ice we've seen! 

The photo of the day is Ariel saying hello to Reagan....

Next, all of us at the show....

Sunrise Trick or Treat - 303/365

Today started with my Flu Shot. 

 Nana was picking up Reagan for their play day, early, so I planned on going right when she got here. They volunteered to come up to CVS with me to keep me company. Nana needed a few things anyway. Reagan was so sweet after my shot, she came rushing over and gave me the biggest hug. She is just the sweetest thing! Love her! I felt pretty good after, except my arm got sore almost instantly. All day, every time I raised my arm, it ached! 

Nana and Reagan went back to her house and had a great day. They played games, legos and even baked some chocolate chip cookies! YUM! 

I just got some chores and editing done. 

This evening, we were taking Reagan over to Sunrise Assisted Living, for their trick or treat. My grandma and grandpa Zabel lived there for quite awhile, so we got to know all the employee's and some of the residents really well. They just love seeing Reagan and it's nice to be able to trick or treat inside. The weather is looking awful for the "real" trick or treat tomorrow, so at least she got a little in today. 

 Jim and I, picked Nana and Reagan up shortly after five and headed over. All the residents just got the biggest kick out of Reagan in her Watermelon Fairy costume. I bet we heard "she looks so adorable" about a million times. Reagan used her manners quite well, too. We were very proud. She said "thank you" without being reminded, more times than not. She got quite the bag of candy as well. She was stoked! 

While we were at trick or treat, Papa went to pick up Mary Jane from the airport. Her and her sister, Joyce, were coming in for about a week for a visit. We were so excited to see her! Papa took Joyce to one of her friends to visit. Then, we met Papa and MJ at Alberini's in Boardman for some dinner after trick or treat! Reagan went right to Mary Jane and gave her the biggest hug. It was so, so sweet! MJ brought Reagan an adorable Belle doll, too. She was so excited. We had a great time at dinner catching up. It's so good to see her!

Reagan also got a surprise treat from a special friend today.  Our friend, Joyce, sent her a tin of cookies from Cheryl's for Halloween. It was so, so sweet and made our day.

The photo of the day is Reagan trick or treating at Sunrise.

 Next, is Reagan's surprise cookies!

Finally, my flu shot coupon...LOL!
