Since there is no snow down near the coast, Reagan brought his sled to have a few runs down Holdsworth Hill. Seems he did the same thing last year, just days before his little brother was born. Last year, he wasn't so keen on the idea of sledding but this year, he's a little more into it...
He made a couple runs down with Nate, and then go brave enough to go on his own. It's a big hill and with the bit of ice we have had, the sleds really go... Reagan really isn't a dare devil, so he was happy to use half the hill and just get a nice little ride that way. But the day was quite cold, and it was windy, so after a few runs, he was happy to head to the farm...
Livy was so excited to see the boys, she loves the idea of Calvin being just at her level.... and not sure what the tongue is about, I think Cal was trying to copy Livy...
I put the grands in charge of decorating the cake.. and told them they could do anything they wanted... because I knew we would have the best decorated cake that ever was.
And so... we did!!!!
Reagan asked if I would be putting the cover back on the cake... I told him I didn't think it would fit... which was just the answer he was hoping for, because I turned around and found him getting every last bit of frosting he could off the cover. 
Smart little chap, he knew exactly what he wanted when he asked that question...
It just melts my heart when I think and see how blessed we are with our family. Moments like this I don't take for granted....
Kass, Nate, Reagan & Cal... Sadie, Jessie & Abi... all were there. We had a great supper together, and then the cake... with all the singing and excitement that one should have on their birthday... I love how the kids make sure that we do it all right.
And after cake comes presents.......
As it turns out, tomorrow is a school holiday, so Abi asked she could spend the night with us... (Reagan was invited but he's not into over nights just yet)... of course we were thrilled to have Abi. Kass had given her Dad a board game that included several games in one, and Abi challenged Ed to a game of checkers. We didn't know she knew how to play, but she sure does, and did a nice job of beating Papa twice.!!!! Kass thought this board game would be fun to have at camp next summer, and that was already proven right.
So, with kids and grands, a nice dinner, cake and presents... and a sleep over.. I think Papa would say that his birthday - early - was a great one!!!!
