Day Two Hundred Thirteen 2010

Happy 9th Birthday, Shelby! Part II


We celebrated granddaughter Shelby's 9th birthday two weeks ago today in Destin, Florida--July 18, her actual birth date. But she wanted to have a party at home to celebrate with other very important loved ones who couldn't be at the beach party.


Shelby is now an expert at making wishes and blowing out birthday candles.


Shelby's brother Elijah and her cousin Julia Foy were by her side while she unwrapped her gifts. The look on Elijah's face is priceless. You would have thought she had just pulled a pony out of that gift bag.


This awesome portrait of Shelby was drawn and colored by her cousin Julia as part of a special folder of artwork created especially for Shelby's birthday. Suitable for framing.


Shelby enjoyed her party and all her gifts, but there was just something about that fuzzy pink pillow. Wishing you a happy year, Shelby! Love you!
