She wasn't thrilled with the whole crown idea but you cant be the birthday princess without the crown! (Right Dani?)

Taylor is the party princess at our house. She somehow manages to drag her birthday out at least a week every year! On her "real" birthday, she wanted to have lunch with her aunts. So Heather, Nancy, Kyla, Brittin and I all joined her for Chinese food. After we ate, we went to the flower shop and sampled all of their fudge before we each picked our favorite! (Sesame chicken does not have quite enough calories by itself so we had to add fudge!) We then went to JC Penney's and shopped. We spent a little time at the LDS bookstore and then went home. She had her choir concert that night so it was a perfect ending to her day! On Friday she had her friends over for a weenie roast. They stayed out by the fire until the wind got the best of them and then they came in and played cards. I had no idea that nerts and spoons could be such physical games! What a fun group of kids! On Saturday we had another party at Heather and Tyler's for all of the Anderson May birthdays. My dear friend Pixie made the cake. We celebrated Cody's, Taylor's, Grandpa Gary's, Hannah's, Olivia's and Kyla's birthdays! If my brothers, Layne and Kevin would have been here, we would have celebrated theirs too! Taylor is such a fun part of our family. She keeps us all safe and healthy. She is not afraid to try new things and jump out of her comfort zone. She is so talented in many different area. I turned all prom hair over to her this year and she did fabulous. She joined the choir at school this year and her teacher absolutely loves having her in class. She is in the drama club and has such fun on stage. She was part of the dance team, and took a ballet and jazz class. She just got her drivers permit and doesnt mind driving as long as there is an adult in the car. We love having her in our family and are anxious to see what the comming year has to bring! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR! WE LOVE YOU!
Brittin's prom was bittersweet this year! I was determined to make sure and leave plenty of time to do her hair. Every year I spend time getting everyone elses daughters ready for Prom and I never have enough time to spend on Brittin's. Prom was held on thursday this year and a normal workday for me. I left the last hour just for Brittin. Well, I ended up still not having enough time. By the time I finished my last appointment I only had about twenty minutes to spend on Brittins. Many tears were shed by both of us and she ended up doing her own hair. She looked fabulous by the time Tate got there! He was such a trooper. When he came and picked her up he brought me a rose. Pretty darn sweet if you ask me! Joel is the Jr Class Sponser and therefore we were the chaperones for the dance. I was so proud to be part of Sanford School that nights. The dresses were modest, the dancing and music were very appropriate and the kids just handled themselves with class. I was impressed.
Tate gets to be "Prince Charming" for all the girls in our house!
