Happy Birthday Christy!

Shannon's cousin Christy celebrated her 13th birthday. She figured out that she is exactly 13 years and 5 months apart from Shannon.  Christy and Adam are the BEST big cousins- they love to play with Shannon. Todd and I are looking forward to some babysitting soon!  

The party had Christy's favorite, a beach theme, which fit in perfect with the hot, humid day.  Christy made the cake with Wendy's help. Wendy's specialty is making cakes and she has passed her love of it on to Christy.  It was a white cake mix with orange jello throughout and custard and cool whip on top- just delicious!  Wendy's sister in law had her 2 children there as well, Maddox (3 1/2) and Xavier (2 mo), although we didn't get any pictures of them! Shannon played with Grandma Jan as well!

One of Shannon's favorite things to do is hold your hands while you clap or even just clap for her. When we sang Happy Birthday she just loved it at the end when the whole room clapped- she probably thought they were all clapping for her!
