New Years Eve

For New Years Eve, we hung out at Jennifer and Justin's, along with Justin's parents, Aunt Janice and Uncle Jim, Grandpa, Jamie & Garrett, and Steven. Shelby loved all of the attention and, especially, loved giving hugs to Jake and Sophie (dogs). At first, though, Shelby was a little intimidated by the little dog, Sophie, so the dogs were let into the back yard. Shelby cried and said she wanted "her doggies" and so the dogs came back inside. She was a real trooper and stayed up until we left around 1:30 a.m. or so. She fell fast asleep in the car!

Daddy took a few pictures before we left for the party: one of him and Shelby (they had been practicing saying "happy new year!"), and a couple of Shelby practicing her "reach for the stars" move from dance class. Daddy went into his computer room sometime on Jan 1 and found that Shelby had fed her horse Lucky some peas. She is definitely a little nurturer!
