GREAT to be EIGHT!

Our "teenie beenie" is EIGHT!

Skates were Blythe's #1 request.
 I searched high and low...
Apparently roller skates aren't hip anymore.
It's all about roller blades.
We had to settle for skates
that were obviously rollerblades in a previous life.
I was hoping to find her those
 totally tubular
sneaker skates that I rocked back in the eighties!
No such luck :(

Blythe 

desperately wanted 

this pig

from the hotel gift shop in Vegas.

Daddy shut her dreams down

and many a tear was shed.

He went back to the shop later and got it 

...on the down low...

to put away for her birthday.

The expression says 

IT ALL!

Ahhh....

the beloved walking, oinking, pig!
