Another Hanel Birthday

Yes It's January 3rd. 8 Years after I gave birth to a beautiful, super good baby girl. The difference now is that she isn't a baby any more. I have a Tween! Only 8 more years and she will be driving. I know it's a ways away but the last 8 years have come and gone quicker then I would ever want. She is growing up to be a beautiful, smart, good hearted little lady.

It was Taylor's day and she picked Subway for Lunch. Her wish was my command! Can you believe this girl can eat she almost ate a whole foot long. I would say she polished off a good 3/4 of a foot long. I have no idea where it goes. I wish I had that metabolism.

I must say that most of the Day Taylor was busy playing her new DS. She bought some more games with her birthday and Christmas money. I think this is a Great picture!

My Baby isn't a baby anymore. Not only is she getting older in age she is maturing and I have an 8 year old that is going on 16. Oh boy do I have my hands full! But I love her so very much and even though I was young when we had her I wouldn't trade any of it for anything. I can't imagine my life with out my Tay Tay!

Taylor had some presents to open today. She was very excited and waited all day to open them.

Rylee decided to make Taylor a card and give Taylor some of her new bracelets that she bought with her Christmas money. I think it is so sweet how giving they are with each other and how thoughtful and caring they are. Here is Rylee's Thank You hug from Taylor. So sweet!

I love how my 2nd grader can now read her own Birthday cards all by herself. She was very proud and so was I!

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Dear Taylor
Happy Birthday to you!

Yes her birthday "cake" is pumpkin pie. I was able to squeeze 8 candles on there. It's what she wanted I also made her some sugar cookies.

Now she has her Big Birthday Bask to look forward too. I am not so sure about it all. Next week with 13 little girls for a sleep over, what have I gotten myself into?
