Shayla's Two-Year Pictures

Shayla Turns Two!!

January 23, 2009--Shayla turned two years old! On the Wednesday night before her birthday, we had the church people over after prayer meeting for a little snack. Then on her birthday, we had a party with our families. Papa and Nana Muir braved the winter weather to be here for the special occasion. Grandpa and Grandma Blowers, Uncle Mark, Aunt Deborah, and their kids (who all live relatively close) were here, as well as Shayla's adopted "Aunt Sharla" who did a great job decorating the cake.

On Shayla's birthday while Mom and I were busy getting ready for the party, Papa spent quite a while playing with Shayla in the snow. He took her sled riding, built her a snow "person" . . . and I looked out at one point to see Shayla eating snow! (Papa says he had nothing to do with that.) Needless to say, they both enjoyed their time immensely! (Her baby even got to ride in the sled.)
