Shaylin's 9th Birthday

Shaylin is really growing up and is such a sweet girl. We can't believe she is really turning 9. She loves gymnastics, soccer, piano, reading, & being with friends.

Her birthday wish must have been something big,

because she sat like this for a long time.

Out went the candles, now the wish will come true. . .

or so the story goes.

These are 3 of Shaylin's favorite things: Her doll "Katelyn," her Webkinz cat "Princess A-cat-a-me," and her Build-a-Bear bunny "Snowflake." She loves getting accessories for each of these and keeping her cat fed online. For those not familiar with Webkinz, it's a whole online world that exists for these plush furry things. They grow gardens, work jobs, go to school, feed and even bathe their pets.

It's lights out for the birthday girl. She tucks her doll in and then tucks herself in, sleeping mask and all. What will the birthday girl dream about tonight?

Happy Birthday Shaylin! We love you!
