It's Great to be 8!

This year was a major birthday for miss Taylor! I can not believe she is already 8 years old! How did that happen!?  She was all smiles the entire day feeling pretty great about finally being 8 years old.
 I somehow failed at taking very many pictures for some reason but I took her lunch at school and we were able to go out to dinner and have her favorite treat of brownies along with presents and singing! She got some long awaited for roller blades that she has become quite good at mastering!
 Taylor is such a huge help to me and such a smart and talented girl.  I had my good friend Kourtney take some pictures of her in her baptism dress and I couldn't have been more pleased with how they turned out!
 She is growing into such a beautiful young lady and I'm so grateful of the chance to be her momma!
 Its also no secret that she's been dreaming of having a sister for the longest time.  And when Piper came along she was nothing but thrilled.  She's so helpful to me and loves her sister so much.  We took some pictures of them together because Piper will be blessed the same weekend that Taylor will be baptized. How special for these two sisters to share such milestones in their lives together. Piper is even wearing the same dress that Taylor was blessed in.
 This last picture brings me great joy.  She truly loves her brothers and sisters and they really do look up to her and adore her.  
So happy that she came first into our family!
