This post is about a month behind but I needed to remember the great birthday celebration we had for Reagan. She turned 11 on September 21st. We decided this year we were going to celebrate birthdays as a family. After going to Haiti and seeing how little the kids had and how happy they were, it was hard not to feel like we have somewhat turned our children into spoiled brats. They aren't though, they had such great attitudes and were so grateful for our time as a family.
Reagan wanted to go on a shopping spree for her birthday, so she had almost $200 from us and our families to spend all on herself. We went to the mall and she got some clothes, jewelry, new shoes and also had two feathers put in her hair.
All in all, she said it was one of her favorite birthdays. See, you don't have to spend a lot of money for your kids to be happy. Quality time has been something I've learned is far more valuable than anything money can buy.
I love you Reagan! You have become such a gorgeous girl especially on the inside. You have a heart for others that is rare. I am so proud of you and all God is doing in your life. You are my little blessing from God!
