It doesn't seem like 10 years ago yesterday that we got a call telling us a birthmom had chosen us to be her baby's mom and dad. And she had already been born that morning! I cried for 2 whole days from so many different emotions, while we quickly got as many things ready as possible. We didn't have any clothes, diapers, bottles, or other baby basics. And we just had to get her in our arms. It was so exciting and nerve-wracking! I still cry when I think about it too hard. :) We are so blessed to be entrusted with such an amazing spirit that Shaylee has and be able to be parents to her forever. Happy 10th Birthday, Shay!!!
The cake - don't look too closely or you might notice it is collapsing.
The gifts - fun clothes, National Geographic magazine, lots of earrings, and a Young Ambassador concert.
The candle blowing - everyone helped.
The pierced ears - Shay only cried before they pierced them (from fear), but it actually didn't hurt when it happened. :)
What a fun b-day!! It seems like yesterday I got the call from Melani, that their baby girl had been born. So exciting! And now she's all grown up with pierced ears!!
ReplyDeleteMy girls are in awe of the cake, and agree that Aunt Mel is amazing!
Can you believe how fast the time has gone? I can't. They are getting so big. Happy Birthday Shaylee.
