Every year a different kid reads the Christmas story that Nana picks. This year was Shelby's turn, she was very excited & did a great job!

Nana & Bubby got this fancy art set for Shelby

More Christmas Gifts

Opening bra/panties. She said "Mom don't I'm embarased" So being the kind Mom I am, boom it's on the blog, love you Shelb it's my job to embarass you.

Gramma Sharon. She opened her rock (from Shelby & the famous holiday shoppe) it said Happiness. Shelby said I know you don't always have happiness so I thought you could take this with you....Awwwwww!

Miley CD, you know "Party In the USA" (I love that song)

Christmas Morning

As always I was up early (4am) & waited until 6 to wake everyone up! I have woke Shelby up on Christmas morning every year since she's been born! I guess I'll never grow up!

All Shelby asked of Santa was DS & Cooking Mama. Santa must've listened! Aside from the look on her face she was very, very happy!

Big Daddy holding the pen Shelby bought him from her holiday shoppe @ school. He opened it and it exploded & fell apart, but he got it back together pheeeewwww another crises averted!

My gift from Shelby's holiday shoppe. It's a light up compact that says "sweetest Mom" Awwwwwww, how sweet!

Gingerbread Building

Big Daddy & I went to Shelby's school for her holiday party on December 23rd (I know I'm behind again!) This year for the party they built gingerbread houses. It was fun, went pretty quickly, the kids had alot of fun! I wouldn't have missed it for the world!

Happy B-day Shelby

Today is Shelby girl's 8th birthday, it has flown by! This morning Shelby came running in our room & said "Guess what I'm 1/2 way to 16 (ugh!) I took her out on our "date" today, she thought we were just going to lunch, but I took her to get her ears pierced as a surprise. Here's before with the purple dot!

After with her birthstone earrings. She did great I was very proud of her!

This is Lexi Loo Hoo for Shelby's 3rd birthday! 1/2 way to 16 huh? How about back to the 3rd birthday! Adorable girls! Wow Lexi Loo Hoo, Leah baby looks just like ya!

This is today's 8th birthday with her new American Girl Doll Rebecca (from Aunt Lynn) We had family over today I cooked (at Shelby's request) meatloaf, mashed potatos, peas, & rolls. I cooked for 19 people, it went fairly smooth. The food was a hit! Best of all, Shelby said "this was my BEST birthday ever" Love you Shelby girl, & I promise we'll still have our dates & girl time even after the new baby comes.

Surprise or shocker?

We gave Shelby this shirt (it says I'm the BIG SISTER) she read it & screamed your pregnant! So yes everyone were having a baby, it was quite a shock, but a great surprise.

Shelby ran away screaming, she turned around & was crying (I'm thinking Oh know she's not happy) She say's "I'm soooo happy." So we both cried, it was a great moment I'll never forget!

Her life will for sure change, but she'll be a great big sister!
