Birthdays at our home mean having your favorite food for breakfast (sticky buns) and lunch brought to you at school. This year Shanley chose In-N-Out Burger (burger, fries, and a strawberry shake).
I allow my girls to get their ears pierced when they turn 13. Shanley has looked forward to it for months (maybe even years)! She got scared right before they did it but she decided it hurt worse afterwards than when they were doing the actual piercing.
Then Kevin and I took Alec, McKayla, and Shanley to Texas Roadhouse for dinner (Chandler wanted to stay home and play soccer with neighborhood kids - silly boy! where are his priorities?) We had a great time. The waitress brought over a saddle for Shanley to sit on, announced to everyone that it was her birthday, and had the entire place give her a big YEE-HAW! It completely embarrassed her but she also got a free dish of ice cream covered with chocolate sauce so she got over it!
Shanley is my happy-go-lucky child. She has millions of friends and seems to make new ones in an instant. She is so easy to get along with. She will share anything she has with anyone. She rarely stresses or gets upset. She has always been a daddy's girl and is not shy about letting people know it. She can handle being teased but rarely teases others. She is kind to everyone and usually has a big smile on her face.
I am blessed to have this girl in my life! Happy 13th, Shanley!
