Another Year Older...

It is so hard to believe that Lorelei is already 8 years old!!!  It seems like yesterday she was that tiny baby who fit on my belly.

Now she's over 4 feet tall and growing.  She recently celebrated her birthday at a local Build-a-Bear with some of her friends.  They all got to pick a stuffed animal and accessories.  The girls had a great time!

They also wrote their names and those of their new stuffed buddies on the yellow bear Lorelei has in the above picture (which of course she got to keep).  She chose to stuff a bunny that day (laying beside her).  As usual she was spoiled for her birthday...and if we haven't already done so, thank you to all who thought of her!  There are times she feels like she has to take a backseat in attention at home but I do not think that was on her mind that day.
