Reagan's 2nd Christmas

We just got back from Oregon, and we had a whole lot of fun!!!! It was great to be back there to see all of our family and friends. We started off in Eugene, and then made our way to Glide, and then to Redmond, to stay at Eagle Crest for the week. We had an adventure on the way there. It was snowy and icy on the pass to Redmond, and our car did 360's in the middle of the road and into on coming traffic. Lucky for us Grandpa was driving and saved our lives, but we did end up in a ditch and needed to be towed out! Reagan was a real trooper throughout the whole time. I had a slight heart attack, feeling completely helpless for Reagan, but it turned out all right.
So when we got to Eagle Crest we did a lot of eating, swimming (hot tubs and pools), shopping, and playing. Reagan wasn't too into opening presents. She found her sweet Radio Flyer tricycle that was hid under the pillows and pretty much played on that the whole morning. Here are some pictures from our trip.
While we were in Glide, Reagan found the piano and I think that she is going to take after her mom.

Reagan also got a sweet riding toy from my parents, but we have misplaced those photo's, so they will be coming soon! We hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Sweater Party

Nick and I threw a Christmas Sweater Party this last weekend. We had an awesome time, and glad that people showed up. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't find a sweater with blinking lights. I couldn't believe how hard it was to find one. I finally realized that the department stores are the place to go. I was also surprised how much the dept. stores charged so I settled for a nice long sleeve shirt. I will be on the hunt the day after Christmas for the sales to get a good sweater for next year.
We had some surprise visitors at our party too! John, Stephanie, and Jackson had a layover in Vegas on Thursday night, and their flight was canceled so they were able to stay with us and stay for the party. It was awesome. Also our good friends from St. George, Jared and Teresa, came with their kids as well. It was good times. Here are some pictures from the festivities.

This is the table that I stood by most of the night!

We of course had Christmas music playing and since Reagan loves to dance, she had to find a dance partner. So she picked one of her boyfriends Easton. They danced pretty good then Easton realized what was going one. She tried to get the other kids to dance with her, but ended up dancing by herself.

And here are the winners of the best sweaters- The Bringhursts!

Thanks for everybody that came!

Cooking with Mom

So Reagan and I decided to make some brownies today. She had a really good time, here are some pictures of our afternoon. The reason she doesn't have a shirt on, is she had just finished lunch and refuses to wear a shirt when she eats!

And to wash it down with some milk!

Reagan's First Real Haircut

So Reagan has always had a lot of hair, so we decided that it was time to get a real haircut, not just a trim in the back. There is an awesome girl in our ward that cuts hair so I took her over there. Reagan was really tired so she was a little scared, but she made it. She had to sit on my lap, and she wouldn't let her put the cape over her, but it turned out great. We have been letting her bangs grow out, that is why it is long in her eye. She has a natural side part, so we are eventually going for a side parted bob. Here is what it looks like. It isn't too much different expcet for the back, which I think makes her look like such a big girl. Nick was afraid we wouldn't be able to do pigtails anymore but we can :)

She was really happy about this one...

They aren't the best pictures, because she was moving all around like a crazy woman, but it at least gives you an idea!
