Taylor is 8!

My sweet Taylor is EIGHT!  It seems really hard to believe that 8 years have gone by since she was born.    Her birthday was on Saturday, but she had a full weekend of celebrations.

Friday evening, we opened her presents:

Oh, the excitement!  I love it!

Going to see her new bike.

She didn't waste much time!

Friday night, she had a Brownie event.  I brought cookies and they all got to sing to her.

Saturday morning, she had her first basketball game bright and early... the team celebrated with more cookies after their game.

She's officially 8!

Sunday, at church, they celebrated her...

Sunday afternoon, she had her birthday party!  It was at Stars & Strikes, and they got to do laser tag, bumper cars, and play in the arcade.

Waiting for the bumper cars.

Laser tag!

Team 1

Team 2.  I'm a little scared.

The ticket booth!

Parker hit the jackpot and won 1000 tickets!

We could hardly see out the back on the ride home ;)

That night, we met up with my parents and sister/BIL/nieces/friend Allen for dinner!

Two peas in a pod, with 5 years between them.

Parker and his "BFF" Allen!  He wouldn't leave his side all night.

It was a great weekend to get to celebrate Taylor.  This sweet natured girl (with about 25% sass) is such a blessing.
